KB5050094 Causes RDP Disconnects

Anonymous

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.

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Windows update

    Thanks Daniel for the workaround!

    It avoided me from uninstalling all the updates!

    Same as gpedit solution, you can also add a value to registry. Useful for Home users:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services\Client]
    "fClientDisableUDP"=dword:00000001

    As of the 26th, this issue still isn't resolved. I have to uninstall both 5050094 and 5051987 in order to use RDP. Users with low RDP throughput basically cannot use RDP at all without uninstalling these updates.

    the registry edit option is a poor solution for low throughput users.
