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.

    We are experiencing the same issue. Some of our client computers with this update get disconnected from Remote Apps after about 5 minutes.

    Uninstalling KB5050094 resolves the issue, but if the update is reinstalled, the problem reappears.

    Not all PCs with this update are necessarily affected.

    The following cross-tests were conducted, confirming that the KB is indeed the cause:

    • Testing with different users on a faulty PC = KO
    • Testing an affected user on another functional PC = OK
    • Testing from a faulty PC on different servers in the farm = KO

    We are seeing similar issues across many of users.

    Our users using RemoteApp that have KB5050094 installed are constantly getting disconnected, reconnecting... messages.

    Usually as often as every minute.

    Uninstalling KB5050094 corrects this problem.

    Not a valid resolution. KB5050094 is a Cumulative preview which we have not released in our environment yet. This issue has been present since the release of 24h2 for Windows 11 and none of the cumulative updates since its release have resolved the issue.

    Interesting.

    For us in 24h2 the issue was infrequent enough that it was annoying.

    KB5050094 has made it worse, changed it from just annoying to almost unusable for many.

    I have found this issue in one computer in my office. I have 4 users that use RDP daily and the 3 that do not have this update all work without issue. 1 computer installed the update and the issue began. I uninistalled the update and the problem went away. Last night the update installed itself again and the problem returned immediately. Again, I uninstalled the update and the problem went away. I have turned off updates for a short period hoping the update will be fixed soon.
