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.

    If anyone else runs into this issue I would suggest the following steps:

    1. Disable the "printers" check box on your Remote Desktop Connection by navigating to Options>Local Resources>Local Devices and resources. Then try to connect.
    2. If connection is successful with the printers disable, start removing printers on your local machine one by one in order to figure out which printer is causing the problem.
    3. Once you have figured out the problem printer driver, reinstall with a different driver.

    That worked for me.  Thank you so much.  The problem was the HP LaserJet Professional P 1102w driver.

    Remote desktop is working with no crashes with the print option enabled.

    Thanks again!

    After beginning to consider printers as a possible cause I deleted unised printers (to PDF and XPS) and this solved mu issue.  Thanks!
