If you’re using Windows Remote Desktop, you should know that there’s a problem, and Microsoft has fixed it. Specifically, these issues were caused by updates. We’re going to tell you what this problem is and what you should do to ensure it’s working properly. As always, it’s essential to check everything you have installed on your computer to avoid problems.
This issue has been present since the January 2025 Windows updates. It caused issues with Remote Desktop connections. Users experienced RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) disconnects after 65 seconds after establishing UDP connections from Windows 11 24H2 to RDS hosts on systems running versions prior to Windows Server 2016.
Microsoft fixes Remote Desktop issue
Specifically, the problem occurred after installing the January update, KB5050094, and subsequent ones. These unexpected disconnections have been a problem affecting many users with Remote Desktop Protocol sessions. Microsoft says it has received numerous reports of this type recently.
Now, they’ve announced that they’ve fixed the issue for Windows 11 24H2 and Windows Server 2025 users. To do so, simply install the recently released KB5053656 update. This fixes these issues affecting the Remote Desktop Protocol.
However, it’s important to note that this update won’t be released to the general public until next month, along with cumulative updates. However, administrators can still resolve this issue through a known issue rollback group policy.
Furthermore, beyond the January 2025 update, Microsoft also detected issues with the February 2025 update. It also affected the use of the Remote Desktop Protocol and will be fixed in future updates.
Have the latest versions, important
In order to maintain security, it’s very important to always have the latest versions available. This allows you to fix any vulnerabilities that may exist. However, sometimes problems can arise. We’ve seen cases where an update can affect Wi-Fi drivers, for example. There are also other issues related to the operating system and other installed applications.
When updating your devices, it’s essential that you always do so from official sources. Otherwise, you could be installing software that has been previously modified maliciously. Also, be wary of messages that may appear while browsing, indicating that there’s a problem with your browser, for example, and that you need to update. This could be a trap.
In short, Microsoft has fixed an issue affecting the Windows Remote Desktop Protocol. Many users had reported disconnections after installing updates in recent months. This has now been fixed. However, although occasional errors of this type may occur, it’s important to always keep your systems updated and avoid problems that affect your security.
