I log in to a few different servers using RDP [for a million years] and it's just perfect and quick - on my local network. Client is Win 10. Servers are Win2008 R2 and 2019. I just simply login to the Administrator account and run a bunch of desktop apps that I just want to continue to run. i.e. VMWare Workstation. I know, I know. But that's the simplest way I like to run. From the latest Win updates, I 'think' the fix for the Trickbot malware has screwed this simple setup: //www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2020/10/12/trickbot-disrupted/ It look me a good number of hours to even diagnose what was going on - as these are critical VMs running and they would just quit [yet the underlying server hadn't rebooted]. So, after all the work of diagnosing the problem - it does seem that only now are the servers forcing the logoff of the session when the session is closed. I've searched alot and not seen many people complaining about this [yet]. There are lots of older posts. I'm managed to fix the problem for the 2008 R2 server. The fix was simple and hasn't failed yet: //community.spiceworks.com/topic/2122517-log-out-rdp-disconnected-users Yes, I have resorted to TeamViewer - but I just prefer RDP and it's the quickest and nicest. All the suggested fixes for 2012 and above have not worked for 2019. Reg key, GPO, local security settings and I just can't get it back to how it was [forever]... Any hints would be appreciated. I tried all the methods via a user account - but same problem.
**Edit. Hopefully not speaking too soon. I think I've found the answer. All the instructions talk about adjusting the GPO 2012 and above. But they all only mention Computer Configuration path.
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remtoe Desktop Session Host\Session Time limits>
Set to Unlimited.
But, I thought I should maybe also set the User Configuration as well. Afterall, I do login as an Administrator. So I adjusted those keys in the same way. Anyway, so far, it seems to be holding OK.

Hey guys,
I am a Mac user trying to access my work Windows computer from home. I have downloaded MS Remote Desktop on my Mac to do this. I can connect fine to my work computer, but when I do it logs my work computer off. As I am running an analysis on my work computer that I want to be able to check the progress of from home, I need the work computer to continue running without logging off.
Does anyone know how I can get around this issue?
Thanks,
Aaron :]

I've just tried and, when I start a remote desktop session, the local user is logged out...
it seems a mutually exclusive behavior: only one user can be logged in at a time [indeed, when the local user logs in, the RDP is suddenly closed]
is this the correct behavior?
is there a way to avoid the logoff of the local user when RDP session starts?
thanks

There is only an option to disconnect inside the Windows session in RDP. And from theHyper-V consolethere is only an option to shutdown or reboot. This means that I am shutting down on a currently logged-onsession, which generates a warning from the operating system that users may lose work. I am sure that it must have been reported elsewhere, but when I tried to respond to another post I was routed to this page. At any rate, this is an issue that I found.
From the Desktop, right-click the Start button, point to Shut down or sign
out.Press CTRL+ALT+END

Do you see "sign out" option ?

No offense here, but I don't see how asking the OP a question qualifies your post as a possible answer. I'm a little confused as why you'd propose your own post as an answer when it clearly isn't one.
