Hello, Comment
Many people, including me and many, have problems with this. However, there is a lot of information full of confusion. An easy way for those who have this problem in ARP connection. This problem is mostly caused by the ARP connection being left open. SOLUTION: FOR DC SERVER: Write a rule from Server GPO. In case of disconnection or exit, log out within 5 minutes. Hello to everyone, If there are programs that need to remain open on the current server, apply the rule only for computers that will connect. *Note! * Doing 5 minutes will minimize possible risks.* TERMINAL SERVER: Apply the rule you will create on the DC Server only for the terminal server or apply it to the users who will connect. If you have difficulty in creating rules, just write an answer.
I had this issue after I installed Oracle VM and a Lubuntu image. Right after the Oracle installation everything was fine and I also managed to install Lubuntu. I've done everything through RDC. Suddenly, the screen went black. I haven't restarted the computer or done anything worth mentioning at all, it just happened. This all happened in one single session. I then tried restarting the computer manually, I tried all of the above settings which helped other people and I also uninstalled Oracle VM. Nothing helped. In the end, I restored my computer to the state before I installed Oracle VM with a restore point that was generated automatically by my computer. Now RDC works again and I'm able to see the screen. tl;dr: use a restore point if RDC used to work but doesn't work anymore
