Windows 10 Fall Creators Update: Remote Desktop Crashes

Anonymous

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?

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.

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

    Installing this update worked for my clients, no more crashes

    Update 4051963 did not work for me.  RDP still crashes within 30 seconds if local printers are not disabled.

    List the printers you have installed please?  As it's working for me, so there may be another printer driver causing a problem.

    HP LaserJet Professional P 1102w and HP Envy 4520.  I deleted the Microsoft to PDF drivers yesterday attempting to fix the remote desktop problem.  That didn't help, by the way.

    Thanks
