Remote Desktop not starting

Copper Contributor

Hi Everyone, 

 

We are connecting users to a new AVD desktop.  99% of people connect without an issue.  I have 2 users right now that launch the desktop from RDC and the icon in the systray shows up for a second and disappears and there are no login windows presented nor is there an error message.

 

Things I've tried:

  • Removed RDC 1.2.3577.0, rebooted, reinstalled
  • Tried a different windows profile on the same computer
  • Removed RDC 1.2.3577.0, rebooted, downgraded to 1.2.3576.0
  • Removed RDC 1.2.3576.0, rebooted, upgraded to 1.2.3667.0
  • Removed and reapplied .NET 4
  • Upgraded to .NET 4.8.1
  • I've checked the Windows Updates and compared those to a computer that does work with RemoteDesktop Client.

Both computers are same Windows version as all others (20H2).

 

I've gone through the troubleshooting guide but found no useful information regarding event logs in the %temp%\DiagOutputDir\RdClientAutoTrace directory.

 

The only error message that I have in event viewer is that ntdll.dll had a handle that was invalid.  This is listed each time I attempt.

I would appreciate any assistance offered!

 

Thanks!

@Olivia_7 Thank you for the suggestion.  I've done the following on the PC:

  • sfc /scannow
  • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

Both of these came up clean.
