Windows 10: RDP sessions on mostly windows 11 computers stop responding

4 or 5 weeks ago we started having problems with windows 11 RDP sessions freezing. We are connecting to a Windows terminal Server 2019. The terminal server is running fine, but the built-in RDP app on our users computers just suddenly stops responding to mouse clicks etc. We can force quit the RDP, but it will sometimes happen again every few minutes. The Microsoft store RDP app works more consistently, but it will only use one screen most users have two or three and doesn’t redirect printers. Seems to be mostly Windows 11 computers with the problem, though I now have one Windows 10 user wi

RDP session appears to be hanging up

I have a workstation that auto updated from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

I RDP into a Windows 2019 server daily.

As I am using the RDP session, several times a day things will become unresponsive. This ranges from the operating system not recognizing when I press the windows key to not being able to click on anything within my programs.

If I close the RDP session then reconnect, I am able to return to using my programs. Simple things like pressing the Windows Key work again to open the start menu.

My assumption is this is with the RDP system since if I close the session and connect a new one, things work again. The server OS is still functioning and my programs are still running.

Note: these computers are not part of a domain. I am using a simple Windows workgroup to network these two computers.

Any ideas or suggestions on where to look for the hangup? Could it be an incompatibility between the RDP client of Windows 11 and the Windows Server 2019 OS?

Thanks, Jeff

 

RDP Windows 11, Session blocked by: Local Session Manager

I recently updated my work computer to Windows 11 about bought a new laptop that also uses Windows 11. When I work from home I used Remote Desktop Connection to log into my work computer. I'm fine for a decent number of hours but then suddenly I get bumped from the work computer and this message pops up: "You're unable to sign in because you're already signed in to another session that is blocked. Session blocked by: Local Session Manager Minutes blocked: 0" and below that it asks "Do you want to sign out of that session so that you can continue?" I've tried by no and yes and selecting yes is the only way to get back in. What happens is it restarts my work computer and once I've logged back in anything I was working on is either lost or just excited with the restart of the work computer which then has to take it's time to load up everything. Not sure how to fix this, but open to suggestions.

 

Weird RDP behavior in Windows 11

Hi,

what's wrong with RDP in Windows 11? I've never had so many problems with RDP in all computers together, than now with one single Windows 11 PC. I have service PC, which is always on for RDP purposes, so I can login remotely from field. Upgraded it to Windows 11 and I regret decision.

What's happening?

Well, as I am always logged-in and have really gozillion of apps opened, I only lock computer, so I can work on those apps via RDP all the time. But now with Windows 11 it is not possible anymore:

• SOMETIMES I land in new profile, empty login, while my active login I can see under logged-in users and I CAN switch to this login.
  
• OTHER TIMES I land in new profile, empty login, and there's no sign of my business login, all apps are closed and it goes up to 100 f-words per minute, as I need to reopen all tasks again.
  
• But when I come back from field to this PC, I cannot login back to any session I opened via RDP, but can only login to empty login, and here goes opening all apps again and neighbors can hear my yelling
  

How can I switch back this stupid RDP behavior back to how it worked in Windows 10?
