On Windows the registry data type REG_EXPAND_SZ indicates that the string requires expansion
of environment variables. The existing implementation doesn't take that into consideration
and just returns the unexpanded string, ignoring the registry type. This implementation ensures
that environment variables are properly expanded when needed.
Fixes #57576
