Windows 10: My VMs updated to 1903, not RDP is no longer working with protocol error

With my VMs updated to 1903 I am now unable to remote desktop into them.


I sometimes get a blue screen, mostly nothing, sometimes a 'please wait message'


Always end with a 'Because of a protocol error, this session will be disconnected'



This happens when trying to RDP from a PC or mobile. Tried all sorts of old suggestions found on the net to resolve but nothing works. This is extremely annoying and severely impacts my ability to work.


Any suggestions welcome..

RDP Will no longer login to Windows 7 VM

I have a Windows 7 VM running an old application, because the application will not run on Windows 10. I have been RDP into it for months, and now it is giving me this error:

"Your password may have expired or the remote PC might not accept blank passwords"

Here's my environment:

Windows 2008r2 DC

Windows 7 & 10 Pro PC's

VM is on Win10 Pro PC, Workgroup

Like I said, worked a month ago.

I attempted to RDP from Win7 Pro PC and received the same message. But the old RDP gives you more information, and I saw that I was trying to login with a domain user, instead of a local user. Changed the login to login as a local user and it connected right
away.

I then tried to change the login on the Win10 PC to a local login and it still gives me the same error. Is the format of local login (Machinename\Username) different on the new RDP?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sundeep,

To better assist you, we would like to ask the following questions:

• Is Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) working before the installation of Creators Update?
• Have you encountered any error messages?

We will wait for your response.

 

Black search window when I connect to my VM via RDP (Windows 10 1903)

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

​I understand that the search bar is blank when you access the virtual machine using remote desktop connection.

It could be possibly that the display scaling settings are not working properly for the Virtual Machine. I would suggest you to follow the steps and check if that helps.

1. Close VMware Workstation
2. Right click on the VMWare workstation Shortcut
3. Select Properties
4. Choose Compatibility
5. Under Settings Check, "Disable display scaling on High DPI settings".
6. Open Workstation

However, if the issue persists, let me point you in the right direction where you will be able to get the support for the issue that you are facing. I would suggest you to post your query in the
TechNet,
where you will be able to find support from professionals and members for issues related to Virtual machine.

Thanks,
