Microsoft is investigating and working on fixing Remote Desktop issues on Windows 11 systems after installing the Windows 11 2022 Update.
"After installing Windows 11, version 22H2, the Windows Remote Desktop application might stop responding when connecting via a Remote Desktop gateway or Remote Desktop Connection Broker," the company explained.
"An example of this connection scenario is when connecting to a Remote Desktop Services collection. RemoteApp and Desktop Connections are ways in which this connection is accomplished."
"Remote Desktop sessions which connect over WAN might experience poor performance following the application of the below workaround," Microsoft warned.
As BleepingComputer previously reported, Microsoft has been investigating this issue since late September following a stream of reports from administrators and home users saying that installing Windows 11 22H2 will cause Remote Desktop clients not to connect, randomly disconnect, or freeze unexpectedly.
After installing the Windows 11 2022 Update, customers have also reported experiencing frequent remote desktop disconnects, Remote Desktop Services failures, remote virtual desktop not working, and Remote Desktop published apps issues.
