[Chetan_W]

Remote desktop client when connected to AVD workspace, breaks desktop application drop down list and pushes it in upper right corner of the screen. Only reproducible in Remote desktop client, everything works as expected in web client.

Remote desktop client: 1.2.4240.0 (x64)

Hi Chetan, are you running Windows 10 or Windows 11. Can you check on both operationg systems?

@MathieuVandenHautte   Hi, we are running this on windows 10 and we see same issue on windows server 2019 too.

Our Windows 10 version is 22H2 (Build 19045,2965)

[#4 · Accepted solution]

@Chetan_W : We got workaround from Microsoft.

Issue has been caused by current version of SxS stack agent which has installed on your session host.

To mitigate this issue, please add the following regkey to your session host VMs :

Key: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RdpCloudStackSettings

Value: RAILDVCActivateThreshold

Type: REG_DWORD

Data: 0

Its working fine post workaround, fix will be released in future updates of SxS stack agent.

1. Workaround

2. Resolution
Microsoft has requested internally for a permanent fix on the SXS update. The fix will be pushed in the coming month. There is no ETA.  When the fix is released, the registry key in the workaround will be updated automatically.
