August 2026 RDP font display glitch
In the last days, we have received two independent reports of font display problems in our MS Access based application. The symptoms are as follows: Some labels or text boxes are shown in a legacy system font instead of the font specified in the control (Segoe UI). Also, the label/text box is shown with a white background instead of transparent. Moving the Access window "fixes" the glitch. It happens at seemingly random places in our application at seemingly random times. Both reports have in common that the Access application is running inside an RDP session. In report 1, a work-from-home user used Remote Desktop to connect to their office Windows 11 PC, and, in report 2, a user executed the application on a Windows Terminal Server. Here are a few screenshots to illustrate the problem. The left side is the glitch, the right side is how it is supposed to look. The first row shows labels, the second row text boxes in a continuous subform. Report 1 is 16.0.20228.20186, 32 bit, M365 SAEC. Report 2 is 16.0.14334.20848, 32 bit, Office 2021 LTSC. Is this a known issue, or shall we continue to collect data about this glitch? Unfortunately, we haven't found a reliable way to reproduce it, so our ability to test it with different versions is limited.
Users "Status" fields blank on RDS with Windows Server 2025
Hi, we have two RDS Server with Windows Server 2025 installed (In-Place Upgrade from Server 2019). In Task-Manager under the "Users" Tab all fields of the "Status" row are blank. We cant see if a user is connected or disconnected. In cmd with "query user" it works. Someone else discovered this problem?Windows App - RDP channel crashes when printing on a redirected canon printer
Hey team, I would like to know, if anyone else struggles with the following scenario: A canon printer is installed on a local client. The user is working in the AVD environment. The printers are redirected into the AVD-Session via "printer redirect". Since the users are migrating to the new "Windows App", the AVD session breaks as soon as the user is printing on a redirected Canon-Printer. When printing on another printer, there is no issue. Also: With the "Microsoft-Remotedesktop" Application, everything works as it should. A Microsoft ticket is already raised. I would like to know if there are other environments, which are encountering the same issue.RDP connection not possible and RDS-Virtualization role comes back after restart
Hello everyone, I have here an Windows Server 2022 Standard 21H2 (Build 20348.4052) (essentials) with the newest updates. This is the Domain Controller. Hyper-V is installed with one VM. The VM is a terminal server. In the past I have tried to install the terminal server on the Hyper-V Server. To do so I have installed all kind of remotdesktop roles. This was stupid of me. Especially it does not work on a DC. I want to connect as administrator by RDP (mstsc) to the server but it does not work anymore since I have installed all these roles and features. No other users are connected. I can still connect to the VM. In one situation I was able to connect to the server but after entering the password I have received the error 0x808 (0x101) that there is no licence server for remote desktop available. I have now removed all roles related to the terminal server and the rdp which I have installed. But I can not uninstall RDS-Virtualization. After uninstalling it comes back when I perform a restart. I have already tried Uninstall-WindowsFeature -Name RDS-Virtualization -Remove In the server manager appears a menu item about remote desktop services. But there is written that no connection broker server is in the pool. The submenu server lists my DC. I have found in the eventmanager a error related to the uninstalling process 0x80070057 wrong parameter But I do not have more information. DISM /RestoreHealth and sfc /scannow did not find any problems. I am not using VDI but is maybe the Hyper-V reinstalling the role after the restart? Do I need to uninstall the role to make RDP working again or could be there other reasons? Do you know where I find a detailed log about the problems about uninstalling the role and maybe the installing? Do you have any idea how I can find out more about the problem? Thank you!
Noob needs help with RDP Services
I am new to Windows server management. I setup a 2019 Server in a VM (Hyper-V). I installed the licenses we got for RDP from MS after installing the Remote Desktop Services. I am getting an error about Remote Desktop Licensing Mode is not configured. Tells me to use Server Manger to specify RD Connection Broker. Either I neglected to install it or configure it, not sure. Articles I find say go to Server Manager -> Remote Desktop Services -> Overview... BUT, that tells me I am logged in with a local account but must use a domain account to manage servers and collections. Again, not using a DC. This server is not part of a domain. We do not run AD internally only AzureAD online. We have 1 program we still run internally and users RDP to it. Should I remove the service and reinstall? What about the licenses I added already? How to I keep them? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated... JDynamic RDP Properties Based on User's Location and Device Type
Hello! I am working with a client that currently uses Citrix SmartPolicies to update the RDP property of the remote machines based on if a user is connecting from a personal machine (not a client provided machine) and if the user is connecting from outside of the network (personal and client provided machine). So if, for example, they connect from a personal machine, the user cannot map printers, local drives, or have copy/paste functionality. I write this to ask if there's a possible way to do this in Azure Virtual Desktop. We've looked at Liquidware's ProfileUnity solution which can update these RDP properties based on AVD Session host properties like WMI classes, registry values, and environment variables. However, the only real discernable value we could find at the moment is $env:CLIENTNAME. We are looking for a secondary value to base filter on as the CLIENTNAME could be hacked pretty easily. Looking to see if anyone has had success in this type of scenario for a highly regulated company and what was your solution? If you used a third-party service, what was that service?

Hello everyone, This topic is already asked several times but I did not find any working answer. I am administrating a Windows Essentials 2022 server. One user need to work on the Remote Desktop temporary. I should create a seperate virtual terminal server on the Essentials server but currently I do not have time for that and it costs some money. So I want to take advantage of the grace periode that this user can work by RDP. It is the only existing server in this network and the network has only two staff and me ;-) The wellknow issue is that only administrator users can access this domain controller. I do not want to make the user an domain administrator. I have added the user by GPO to the people which are allowed to connect and I have added the user manually by system settings -> remote. After the second step at leaste RDP is opening but then I am getting a message that the user is still not allowed. Is there any option?MFA on RDP (with AD, RDG, NPS)
Hi, everyone. In the company where I work we have an AD domain and RDP servers (MP) that some employees access from outside via RDG. We have already installed ADFS and NPS but I am still not clear which products and which license levels are necessary to enable 2FA on RDP via RDG. Does anyone have a clearer idea than me? Thanks
User CAL or RDS CAL for this kind of access?
My client need a VM with Windows Server 2022 installed. I've tell him to provide a Windows Server 2022 Standard 16 core installation but i'm confused with CAL license. The VM will start with an autologon on a user and then my customer will connect via RDP to that session (same user that starts in autologon) to manage the installed application (a SCADA automation software). Do I require a RDP CAL or a simple USER CAL? Thanks
