Windows Version 24H2 Causes Remote Desktop to Freeze on reconnect.
- Feb 20, 2025
We had the same problem with the 24H2 update. On our office computers we made the following changes that fixed the remote desktop issue for us.
We went to the local computer policy > computer configuration > administrator templates > Windows components > remote desktop services > remote desktop session host > connections and enabled the select network detection on the server and set the drop down to turn off connect time detect and continuous network detect.
We also went to the remote desktop session host > remote session environment and enabled the enforce removal of remote desktop wallpaper.
I hope this helps your network.
I was experiencing the same issue and what worked for me (at least for the time being) was to go to the Experience tab and change to "Low-speed broadband (256 kbps - 2 Mbps)" instead of "Detect connection quality automatically". I haven't tried any of the other settings to see if they work yet.

Yes, played with that as well, edited the registry to turn off UDP, turned off UDP in Group Policy an still no luck. I am testing the latest patch from Microsoft that may fix the issue. Another bug this causes is with Windows 11 users logging into older windows 10 PCs they drop every 2 min, Microsoft loves to test us...
