We released the February update (version 1.2.675) of the Windows Desktop client to all users earlier today. Here's What's new in this release: Connections to Windows Virtual Desktop are now blocked if the RDP file is missing the signature or one of the signscope properties has been modified. When a Workspace is empty or has been removed, the Connection Center no longer appears to be empty. Added the activity ID and error code on disconnect messages to improve troubleshooting. You can copy the dialog message with Ctrl+C. Fixed an issue that caused the desktop connection settings to not detect displays. Client updates no longer automatically restart the PC. Windowless icons should no longer appear on the taskbar.

DavidBelanger Hi David, we have 5-6 users using WVD client in Windows 7 SP1. Until today morning they are doing good. But in the morning the users are not able to login to the WVD and the client is asking for an update. We updated the WVD clients, and we are facing an error. Please check the screenshot for more information. The same users are able to login to WVD using a web URL from Windows 7 SP1. What might be the issue? is there any way to troubleshoot this? Please give me some leads on this.

Hi David I want to give you some updates regarding this issue. The main problem from my client environment is they have a firewall and also all the windows 7 users are not installing their security updates. So we did some tests for one of the user. We removed his machine from the clients firewall. We updated the Windows 7 Professional SP1 (as you know just security updates) now this user is able to login with the client with no issues. To double check I also logged into the user's Windows Virtual Desktop from my home which don't have any firewall. I was able to login in the same. To fix this in the client environment they are closed because of the covid-19 lockdown. So, my report is the required URL's and ports for windows virtual desktop must be opened in the firewall if there is not firewall then there is no issue at all and also all the Windows 7 users must check for their security updates. Thank you very much David for responding to my query, you did a great help and also thanks for assigning Abu to the issue, he also helped me a lot. I will definitely give you another update once this problem is completed solved.

gadmin285 We face the same issue with this version.It works with the web client though. Any luck already?

Hey, Martijn we still have the issue. I raised a support ticket and I'm in contact with David Belanger from Microsoft I will update you if anything works ours. We are able to login with the web client but not with the WVD client. Do you have the same login issue in your environment? Hivemind

gadmin285 Yes I have the exact same problem, but so far only on my computer. When I test it on another computer in the domain it works. The web client works indeed.

Version 1.2.675 of the Windows client (MSRDC) released to all users!

  gadmin285 This seems like something I'm observing for a customer. All of a sudden today their ability to launch WVD Remote Apps has stopped: "internal error". My login works fine on my networks, but when I try to login from their computers we get an error.
  
  You mention needing to allow certain things on the client firewall. Can you share what those were?

    DaveMortensen Do you have the UserName for the customer who has connection issues and a rough timestamp so I can look up the details ?

Hi David we went ahead and raised a support ticket with Microsoft Team. We have a remote session and did some troubleshooting. The support team checked if the connection is established via client and web URL. Via client its not established. So, they went ahead and re created the scenario and its working with Windows 7 Enterprise. Support Team asked re create the scenario with windows 7 Professional SP1. I am looking for the ISO.

Sorry to add a "Me Too" to this thread: This update has broken Remote Desktop for our Windows 7 users.

DavidBelanger : Is there a place we can go to download old versions of Remote Desktop?

  FortyMegabytes You can access some of the previous versions of the client at the following location: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/windowsdesktop-whatsnew
  
  What version were you upgrading from?
  
  Can you see if uninstalling version 675 and re-installing the previous version works?
