WindowsDriver find returns RemoteWebElement instead of WindowsElement #1247
Description
Description
I'm new to Appium and I have the problem described in this issue #1194 (which was closed without any explanation). Basically I'm creating a WindowsDriver<WindowsElement> to automate a WPF app, when finding elements (by accesibility id) it says foundBy io.appium.java_client.windows.WindowsDriver however the returned element type is RemoteWebElement. I would expect the type to be WindowsElement. What's more, calling find by accessibility id on the returned element sometimes fails with a not supported exception.
Environment
- java client build version or git revision if you use some shapshot: 7.2.0
- Appium server version or git revision if you use some shapshot: 1.13.0
- Desktop OS/version used to run Appium if necessary: Windows 10
- Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe) or Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe:
- Mobile platform/version under test: Windows/WPF
- Real device or emulator/simulator: -
Details
Happy to provide, please let me know what you need.

Hey! I have the exact same issue: WindowsDriver returning RemoteWebElement, thus leading to cast errors if trying to store them in WindowsElement variables.
Looks like the same issue as #774.
