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?

DavidBelanger So, interestingly, uninstalling the new Remote Desktop client and installing the old version did *not* fix the issue. Our Windows 7 clients still cannot access WVD.
Since everyone in our organization is supposed to be on Windows 10 anyway, we've been using this as leverage to force the stragglers to update their laptops. So this isn't hugely impacting for us.
Still, I'm puzzled why Remote Desktop would stop working even after uninstalling the new version and reinstalling the previously-working version. My guess is a registry change that's not being reverted by an uninstall.

FortyMegabytes / Hivemind / karoto Are you folks still seeing this issue with version 790 released last week? If so, we'll likely need you to collect additional traces to help us investigate. Let me know if you want to help with that.

Hivemind Just to confirm, once you get in the bad state, even uninstalling and re-installing the a previous version of the client (one that worked before) doesn't solve the problem and you are still blocked?
