When installing the App Compatibility FOD on Windows Server 2022, Remote Desktop connections to the server seem to be no longer possible. I think this is a bug, but haven't found any other reports. Can someone confirm?
How to reproduce:
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name ServerCore.AppCompatibility~~~~0.0.1.0
Restart-Computer
Remove-WindowsCapability -Online -Name ServerCore.AppCompatibility~~~~0.0.1.0
Restart-Computer
This did work fine in Server 2019.

@sysadminRiga yes, same situation. I have hybrid ambients, some with Desktop Experience, some with Server Core. With Desktop, no problems, RDP works fine...but with AppCompatibility, RDP crashs

@mauricewalker l'd like to add as well how horrible of a choice it was to force us to use a Feedback Hub app for bug reporting. Come on Microsoft.

Issue is now fixed with the CU released yesterday, KB5009608, build 20348.502.
I have tested it on 3 vms, all of which are WS2022 core based, with app compat FOD.
I can connect to them fine with RDP! :)
Addresses an issue that causes a remote desktop protocol (RDP) session to disconnect or the screen to be blank for Server Core. This issue occurs when you install the AppCompat feature.
