Windows update breaks remote desktop app – KB5074109 [Fixed]

Early january Microsoft released KB5074109 which breaks connecting to Remote Desktop via de Windows App. The update had number KB5074109, Microsoft released an OOB (Out of band) update to resolve the issue. [KB5077744]

I created 2 scripts so you can fix this for the affected machines remotely (if you are able to execute powershell commands).
