AVD RemoteApp disconnects after sleep — any way to mimic Citrix Session Reliability?
In Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), whenever my laptop goes into sleep/hibernate and I wake it up, my RemoteApp disconnects and throws an error. With Citrix, the session stays “alive” because of Session Reliability, but AVD doesn’t seem to handle this the same way. I’ve already set session timeouts and keep-alive settings via RDP properties/GPO, but the problem isn’t policy-related — it’s triggered by the local device going to sleep and dropping the network. I have full permissions to configure and manage host pools, session hosts, and RDP properties. Is there any way to mimic Citrix’s behavior (Session Reliability / seamless resume) so users don’t get disconnected after sleep? Or is this simply a limitation of the AVD client?
Remote Desktop Services Deployment fails with exceptions
I'm trying to deploy Remote Desktop Services on a single server on Windows Server 2019 Standard. I've tried both Standard Deployment and Quick Start with a Session-based desktop development but I'm getting the following error during the installation: Unable to add server REMOTEAPP.AD.DOMAIN.COM to the list of servers on the RD Connection Broker server REMOTEAPP.AD.DOMAIN.COM..Exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' was thrown. I searched for some hint about this problem but I had not find anything useful. I cannot even find any useful log into the events log, and I tried one more time after reinstalling the server from scratch. Could you help me please? Thank you very much!
Azure VM - RemoteApps Mouse Focus Issue
Seeing an issue this morning on multiple VMs and hostpools where Remoteapps have not handling Window Focus correctly. Situation: A maximized app and a secondary app smaller and on the same screen. If attempting to click or use the smaller app. The maximized app is receiving the mouse clicks. In some situations it will even pull to the front covering the smaller app. The only way to interact with the smaller window is to minimize or move the larger window out of the way. Both applications in the scenario are remote apps. Naturally anything running natively off the client PC is unaffected. No updates to the client PC. Trying to identify what would cause this behavior overnight.
RemoteApp problem
I am setting up a RemoteApp server (2022) with assorted small programs and utilities so that we don't need multiple installations of of them. One of these is Git: https://git-scm.com/download/win (64 bit version) It installs fine and appears to publish OK, but as soon as it has been published the web portal for the server (https://(hostname removed)/RDWeb/Pages/en-US/Default.aspx) fails to load - I get a runtime error (see attached image). The above Git package installs three programs, and if any or all of them are published as RemoteApps this happens. All the other programs which I have installed on the server publish without issue, and provided none of the Git ones are published the web portal loads normally. If I publish one of the Git ones, get the runtime error, then unpublish and refresh the page the portal then loads again. Anyone have any idea of a workaround for this? I've had it working in the past on Server 2019 in this way, but it's unclear whether the problem is the OS version or a newer version of the Git software.

Hi, I'm trying to create a remote app in a POOL using a File Path as the application source but for the life of it I can't fill up the Application name field as it doesn't allow me and it's a mandatory field. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here. According to the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/manage-app-groups?toc=%2Fazure%2Fvirtual-desktop%2Fremote-app-streaming%2Ftoc.json&bc=%2Fazure%2Fvirtual-desktop%2Fbreadcrumb%2Ftoc.json, I'm doing everything correctly but it doesn't work. Can someone help, please? Thanks, LucianRDS 2019 Remote Apps RDWEB event id 10
Hi everyone, I have a server that I was able to publish remote apps before several new applications installations today. I was also able to use the GPO "Specify the default connection URL After the installation of the new software, I wanted to publish it. However, it didn't work. I check it using the rdweb URL and found this: When I went to the server I found event id 10: "RD Web Access was unable to access RDSSerever, which is the server that is specified as running the RemoteApp and Desktop Connection Management service. Ensure that the computer account of the RD Web Access server is a member of the TS Web Access Computers security group on RDSServer." I tried multiple solutions, but: 1. I don't have a group called TS Web Access Computers Security group 2. Even after changing the authentication to a domain admin it still doesn't work... Is my only option to remove and add the RDS again? Rahamim.
RDP file has settings that cannot be overridden message with REMOTECMDLINE parameter
I'm trying to send some command line arguments to an application that is published at a RemoteApp server. (2016 and 2019) The application is published with "allow any command-line arguments" option. When I pass parameters and the RDP is signed I get: 'This RDP file has settings that cannot be overridden by command line' When I remove the signing from the RDP file, it works. Is it possible to use parameters and keep de RDP file signed? For testing I used as remoteapp wordpad with as parameter a filepath. mstsc /REMOTECMDLINE:c:\Temp\test1.txt wordpad.rdp Tried already with: 1 remoteapplicationcmdline:s: 2 remoteapplicationcmdline:s:* 3 with the line "remoteapplicationcmdline:s:" removedWVD Remote app Recent files not populated
Hey All, I've setup WVD and am using Remote App rather than the full desktop experience. All is working very well with the exception of one annoying issue: Recent files aka Windows 10 Jump Lists, don't populate when using remote apps. I have file explorer and individual apps published and when say opening a pdf, or non Office document, they won't show up in the recent files list in other apps (like Outlook for example). I've moved the user to full desktop experience and it works fine, move them back to remote app and the old ones from his full desktop session exist, but no new documents/shortcuts appear in %appdata%/microsoft/windows/recent I feel like this is probably a bug with how the api auto generates shorcuts in the recent folder. MS can you confirm this is a shortfall for WVD Remote Apps? Any chance there is a fix in the works?RemoteApp doesn't connect on domain joined computers
RemoteApp doesn't connect on domain joined computers I can connect using remote desktop to the client computers, but when I connect using remoteapp via the RD Connection Broker server I get the following error- "This computer can't connect to the remote computer''. This only happen on domain joined computers. Any ideas?
