KB5050094 Causes RDP Disconnects

Since computers installed update KB5050094 we are seeing RDP connections being disconnected randomly...sometimes after a few seconds or after a few minutes. We have confirmed that it was this update which caused it by removing the update and then testing, and RDP stayed active as it did previously without any disconnects. We then reinstalled the update and the RDP disconnects started again.

We have also tested this from Macs using the Windows App, and the same users who were disconnected on their Windows systems, where not getting disconnected from the Mac (so not the server end disconnecting).

Looking online, other users are reporting the same issue so this is not specific to our network, clients or servers.

As a note these are Windows 10 and 11 systems.

    Try this .reg

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services\Client]

    "fClientDisableUDP"=dword:00000001

    It should do the job.

    Confirmed, your solution works!

    I had the same inssue right now, and folllowed your instruction to solve the problem using windows 11 home and server 2012.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the tip and instructions, it worked, but I'll describe it in detail: Namely, this solution works on Win Pro, unfortunately, despite adding the Group Policy Editor script to Win Home, it still disconnects, I'll try the registry editor as others here suggest. Unfortunately, in Win HOME it is not in the registry, but adding it manually works, yup

    "fClientDisableUDP"=dword:00000001

    I had the same problem with the March update I did today. My WS 2012- WS-2016 RDP connections are constantly dropping. Unfortunately there is no GPEDIT because I am using Windows 11 Home Edition. I cannot turn off UDP because GPEdit is not in the OS version. Why does Microsoft want us to do it? Please go back to the way it was @Microsoft
