Description
In the past we were using windows-2016 but it is not supported by GH any more, thus any job tries to run on it got queued and eventually timeout.
It would be good to know
1. what was the problem that we cannot run run-aqa or aqa-tests on windows-2019 etc
2. try to find a way to make aqa-tests /run-aqa working on windows-2019 etc
3. this would help e.g temurin build to upgrade to newer version of windows servers if we want. (currently on windows-2012)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by investigating the run-aqa and aqa-tests entry points on windows-2019, windows-2022, and windows-latest, comparing them with the current Windows runner setup. Done means identifying why these jobs previously could not run, making both workflows work on a supported Windows runner, and verifying that the relevant jobs complete successfully.
