Windows Server 2022 App Compatibility FOD breaks Remote Desktop
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: Install Windows Server 2022 Standard Core (physical and virtual installs are equally affected). In SConfig, enable Remote Desktop. Connect to the server via Remote Desktop using the default 'Administrator' account. Works fine. Install the App Compatibility FOD and reboot: Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name ServerCore.AppCompatibility~~~~0.0.1.0 Restart-Computer Try establishing a Remote Desktop connection again. Doesn't work. You either get a blank screen or get disconnected immediately. Install all applicable Windows Updates and try again. No change. Remove the App Compatibility FOD and reboot: Remove-WindowsCapability -Online -Name ServerCore.AppCompatibility~~~~0.0.1.0 Restart-Computer​ Try again. Remote Desktop functionality is now restored. This did work fine in Server 2019.Solved17KViews3likes32Comments
