Remote Desktop Connection at start of Windows 11

Hi,

 

After I start my Windows 11 system, I can see in Task Manager 3 "Remote Desktop Connection" process.

I can't kill these processes and I don't know what they are or why are they starting if I have Remote Desktop disabled in System Settings.

 

 

Any idea about these processes?

Regards

Jose

    It appears it has to do with Windows Subsystem for Linux. In fact, if you open a powershell terminal and execute:

     

    wsl --shutdown

     

    those strange remote desktop processes disappear. Check out https://superuser.com/questions/1718758/strange-remote-desktop-connections-after-windows-11-startup in SuperUser for more details.
