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,

Win1903 - RDP Issue on VMWare -with High Cpu

Please try this fix:

gpedit.msc

Computer -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Service -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Remote Session Environment -> Use WDDM Display Driver for Remote Desktop Connections --->> change this to disabled & reboot

What happens is if you RDP to Windows 10 1903, then disconnect your session, the VM will freeze. If you change the WDDM driver to disabled, which apparently new to 1903, it forces the XDDM driver instead and this solved it on at least half a dozen VMs that
I saw this issue with.

The issue is easily reproduced by RDP, disconnect with x (not log out) then try to go into VM console and it is locked up. Not sure if this is a VMware Tools issue or not, we're using 11.0 and vSphere 6.5

Hopefully this helps you

Windows 10 Build 1903: RDP Connections may show a black screen

 

RDP connection ends rather abruptly

I have a vsphere 5.5 infrastructure with windows and linux servers running across 3 hosts. I use remote desktop connection to connect and manually install windows updates on all windows VMs but recently one of the VMs will drop the connection almost immediately
after i login to it via RDP. I tried to open console from the vsphere Web Client interface to access the particular VM but it only opens a blank black window. I am not sure if this is entirely windows or vmware problem or both. I know RDP is enabled and
the user name i use is allowed to remotely connect to this VM because its what has always worked for months until last week. How can i regain remote desktop or open console access to this VM or install updates remotely from another computer on the domain?
Please help.
