Hi, I do not know if this thread is still valid but I have the same problem on my Windows Server 2019. I just installed version 2211 and now I have the same error message. It was working good with the previous installed version on the same server. When trying to open the console using an InPrivate Windows (Microsoft Edge) and using credentials that are admin on the server, it is opening without the error.
Any clues?

**Edit** In fact, it seem that landing on the All Connections page is causing some issues. If I am landing on Server Connections there is no issues.

Mathieu_Desjardins Try the fix that is in this thread, making your user part of the local admin group during installation and first start of the tool. You can then remove the account from the local admin group. Amazing that the same issue is still there to this day. I really liked this WAC but it would be nice if it worked as well.

AndreasM1976Still facing the same problem with "Access denied".
It was working for some years. After the last update to 1.4.2212.08003 on Server 2016 non privileged users get "Access denied".
Login with privileged user works. Updates were installed on the first login but the error remains to all no privileged users. Putting one of this accounts into priv. users let's him login, but after removing privileges the error returns.
Are there any fixes available ?

**Edit**: Mathieu Desjardins with access direct to server connections it's working. But that is only a workaround. We need a fix.
