Black Screen while RDP on Windows-10

Question

Hello,
We are using Windows-10 for Desktop application. Since we hare accessing all the PCs from remote, when we try to connect the PC, Black screen is getting and after sometime Message is popping " Failed to reconnect to your remote session. Please try to reconnect again". Once this message appeared, It wont be connected until PC restarted. Once PC restarted, 2-3 time RDP will be connected, after that again same will appear. We tried basic which seen in google like Disable persistent bitmap cache etc. but issue is still persisting.

I can confirm that "Prevent installation of devices not described by other policy setting", which I changed to "Not Configured" works !!!

But ! there was an issue with de device setup class settings in the GPO System/Device Installation/Device Installation Restrictions: "Allow non-administrators to install drivers for these device setup classes" or "Allow installation of devices using drivers that match these device setup classes"

I hade some default classes defined in there and the Mouse setup class {4d36e96f-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318} was entered with a trailing space :-)

in the Windows\INF\setupapi.dev.log i noticed the following:

     dvi: Class GUID of device changed to: {4d36e96f-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}.
     ndv: {Core Device Install} 14:23:30.993
     dvi:      {Install Device - TERMINPUT_BUS\UMB\2&2C22BCC9&0&SESSION13MOUSE1} 14:23:31.009
     dvi:           Device Status: 0x01802400 [0x01 - 0xc0000361]
     dvi:           Parent Device: UMB\UMB\1&841921d&0&TERMINPUT_BUS
!!!  pol:           The device is explicitly restricted by the following policy settings:
!!!  pol:           [-] Restricted installation of devices not described by policy
!!!  pol:      {Device installation policy check [TERMINPUT_BUS\UMB\2&2C22BCC9&0&SESSION13MOUSE1] exit(0xe0000248)}
!!!  dvi:      Installation of device is blocked by policy!
     dvi:      Device Status: 0x01802400 [0x01]
     dvi: {Install Device - exit(0xe0000248)} 14:23:31.040
     dvi: {Core Device Install - exit(0xe0000248)} 14:23:31.056

Once i remove the trailing space in de GPO the logs shows: (after gpupdate)

: Previously blocked device is now allowed by policy [TERMINPUT_BUS\UMB\2&2C22BCC9&0&SESSION13MOUSE1]
     pol: {Device Removal Initiated by Policy Change [TERMINPUT_BUS\UMB\2&2C22BCC9&0&SESSION13MOUSE1]}

So if you hav eany weird issues with RDP, not connecting, black screen or even disconnects after logon check the device log for device installation issues :-)

Answer

Set the RDC display options to "Full Screen" (usually the default).
Press "Ctrl + Shift + Esc" to bring up the task manager.
In the task manager app, click File -> Run new task
Type "explorer" and press enter.

After following the above steps you should be able to see the Desktop load completely.
