     Workaround: https://github.com/microsoft/msbuild/issues/4948
     Disable .NET Framework's inbox WinFX targets when using the SDK, since, we really don't use it's build logic
     and is superseded by 'WindowsDesktop' SDK that provides it's own WinFX for both NETFX and CoreCLR targets.
+    Make it opt-out, just in case, if something fails or we don't want to use 'WindowsDesktop' SDK's version.
