Issue restoring a maximized window using OverlappedPresenter.Restore(true)

[AmelBawa-msft]

Describe the bug

This is related to this issue in Dev Home, where attempting to restore a maximized window when it's in iconic mode does not get maximized again.

Code where this behavior occurs:

var hWnd = WinRT.Interop.WindowNative.GetWindowHandle(MainWindow);
if (PInvoke.IsIconic(new HWND(hWnd)) && MainWindow.AppWindow.Presenter is OverlappedPresenter overlappedPresenter)
{
    overlappedPresenter.Restore(true);
}
else
{
    PInvoke.SetForegroundWindow(new HWND(hWnd));
}

Workaround:

var hWnd = new HWND(WinRT.Interop.WindowNative.GetWindowHandle(MainWindow));
if (PInvoke.IsIconic(hWnd) && MainWindow.AppWindow.Presenter is OverlappedPresenter overlappedPresenter)
{
    overlappedPresenter.Restore();
    // OR overlappedPresenter.Restore(false);
    // OR PInvoke.ShowWindow(hWnd, SHOW_WINDOW_CMD.SW_RESTORE);
}

PInvoke.SetForegroundWindow(hWnd);
