Disabling Printer redirect on RDP connection resolved the crashing. Crashing was taking place on a Windows 10 PC using the native Desktop RDP app, not the Windows 10 RDP store app.

I just installed the Fall Creators Update on Windows 10/64 bit, and now Remote Desktop Connection crashes every time I try to connect to another PC running Windows 10 64 bit (which I haven't updated yet). Moreover, my Surface 3, running Windows 10 (but also not yet updated) can successfully connect to the same target PC.
To be clear, the connection goes through. But, invariably, within 30 seconds the Remote Desktop Connection app crashes on the machine running the Fall Creators Update.
Methinks something didn't get tested before the update was rolled out.
Any workarounds or solutions?

Try the update released today. I think it has the fix (but they didn't document it in the release notes)

There is no indication that this has the fix for the rdp bug, but..... it was supposed to be in this release. Please test and report back please?
YES!! This build fixed the RDP with remote printing feature enabled to not crash anymore! I wonder why Microsoft did not list this fix in their update article? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4051963
November 30, 2017—KB4051963 (OS Build 16299.98) definitely fixed my RDP from crashing with printers enabled. Now I can remote desktop to another computer or server and remote print again. :)
THANKS MICROSOFT!!!
