RDP Session Stuck On Configuring Session
Description:
When you try to RDP to a computer either in the internal network or through a VPN, you will be stuck on a Window that just says “Configuring Remote Session” and will eventually fail.
To Resolve:
-
Reboot each computer on each of the connection. (Yes, this means to reboot the terminal server!! Let’s just say I spent over 2 hours on one that this simple step resolved (although it could’ve been a combination of multiple changes AND then a reboot, but anyways …))
-
In the RDP Connection options, navigate to Options => Local Resources => Remote Audio => Settings => Do Not Use on both.
-
Now navigate to Local Devices and Resources on the same tab => Uncheck all, then go to “More..” and uncheck all of those as well.
-
Now navigate to the Experience tab and uncheck the Persistent Bitmap Caching checkbox.
-
If this doesn’t work, on the Terminal Server, apply Windows updates and reboot once again.
