Alright, so i am trying to automatize some procedures in a windows virtual machine with azure. I use RDP to connect to the VM and set up everything. I am using a macro recorder so, i start it and it works perfectly but when i minimize or close the RDP connection it stops. I've been reading some post and it might be related to the fact that in RDP close/minimize, screen display is disabled and that's why its not working.

So my question is, what can i do in order to make this macro recorder work properly? Because i want to connect to the RDP VM, set it up and then close the RDP connection to leave it perfectly working.

Thanks.

    Hi,

    Can you try to RDP to the VM using Azure Bastion. The reason for this suggestion is that the RDP via Bastion happens over browser and when you minimise the browser, there will not be any disruption to your recorder.
