Microsoft has once again turned to its Known Issue Rollback (KIR) strategy to address a troubling situation stemming from a recent Windows update. This latest challenge involves unexpected disconnections in Remote Desktop sessions, a problem that remains unresolved at this time.
Understanding the Root of the Issue
The disconnection troubles appear to be linked to the January 2025 Windows preview update, with the situation seemingly worsened by the March 2025 Windows security update. Microsoft has acknowledged the connection between these updates and the reported issues.
In a recent update on their Release Health page, Microsoft noted:
Users might notice their RDP sessions unexpectedly disconnecting after 65 seconds when establishing UDP-based connections from Windows 11, version 24H2 devices to RDS deployments running versions Windows Server 2016 or earlier. Resulting from this issue, users might experience frequent disconnections from their Remote Desktop and RDS sessions.
This situation is particularly concerning for users relying on Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) for their daily operations. While the KIR will provide relief for Home and Pro users, system administrators may need to implement a Group Policy adjustment to mitigate the issue effectively. Detailed instructions for this workaround are available for those who require assistance.
As Microsoft navigates these challenges, users are encouraged to stay informed about updates and potential fixes, ensuring a smoother experience with their Windows systems.
