Windows 10: Remote Desktop Connection frequently disconnects for few seconds after January 28,...

Hello, Remote Desktop Connection frequently disconnects for a few seconds after installing KB5050094 OS Build 26100.3037 Preview on January 28, 2025. The same issue occurs less frequently with the Microsoft Remote Desktop App. How to troubleshoot? Note: It seems that uninstalling KB5050094 resolves the problem.

Remote Desktop Connection problems


Have you tried Remote Desktop Connection, to connect from your Windows 10 laptop to your Windows 7 desktop? Try it first, post back and tell how it went.

Some additional help because you mentioned you are a remote newbie *Wink. The windows 7 related tutorials from our sister site the Seven Forums:

1. On Windows 7 desktop, set network location to either Home or Work (I recommend Work):
   • Network Location - Set as Home, Work, or Public Network - Windows 7 Help Forums
2. On Windows 7 desktop, allow incoming remote connections:
   • Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) - Network - Windows 7 Help Forums
3. On Windows 7 desktop, find out its IP address:
   • IP Address - Locate and Find for Your Computer - Windows 7 Help Forums
4. On Windows 10 laptop, start the Remote Desktop application and connect to the Windows 7 desktop using the IP address from step 3 above (see Part Three in the tutorial):
   • RDC - Connect Remotely to your Windows 10 PC - Windows 10 Forums
   • Notice that although the tutorial is written for Windows 10, it also applies to Windows 7

Try the above, post back how it went.

 

KB4524147 causes Remote Desktop to disconnect every 30 seconds

After the KB4524147 was installed, the Remote Desktop connection to a Windows 2012R2 Terminal Server would just disconnect after 30 seconds without any warning or error. Once I removed the KB4524147 update the remote Desktop Connection stopped disconnecting.
Why and what can I do to resolve this other than removing and hiding this update from our 30+ remote users on Windows 10?

 

Remote desktop connection problem

Hello, Mara,

I appreciate your help. But it was not working.

I am using the windows 10 professional version, which has preinstalled remote desktop connection.

But the same problem persists. So kindly suggest some other methods.

For more clarity, I am stating my problem another time. The steps I follow are as follows.

Aim: I want to access PC1 using PC2 remotely.

1. I noted down the IP address of my PC1.
   
2. Now, I open the remote desktop connection app in PC2.
   
3. Entered the IP address, User name, and password.
   
4. After that, PC1 gets locked, and in PC2, a page comes which has the following information. (Normally, it should show the sign-in prompt to access the PC1 exactly as in PC1 )
   
   • At the top, a bar came which can be used for minimization, cancel, etc.
     
   • At the left bottom, the power button shows. I can sleep, shut down, disconnect, or sign out by using that.
     
   • In the middle, a mouse pointer shows.
     
   • Other than that no sign-in prompt. By clicking the mouse, no response. Also, clicking enter does not help.
     
   • It's like the "connected locked PC1 ". It means it is connected but can't be used.
