We are in the testing phase of upgrading to server 2022 for our RD Session hosts. We are experiencing random frozen sessions about 1-2x per day per user and the only way to unfreeze is to disconnect from the session and reopen it. The disconnect code that's shown in 'Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager/Operational' is 2147942464. The collections with 2019 session host servers are not experiencing this issue.

The connection broker is still 2019 so I'm wondering if this is a compatibility issue.

    This was causing us major problems on a brand new 2022 RDS Session Host. Users unable to drag tabs around in Edge and Chrome, and taskbar freezing up. Clearing out HKLM\SYSTEM\Software\Microsoft\TIP\TestResults\ resolves the issue instantly.

    For us it ended up being our antivirus software, Vipre, it's not supported on 2022. After removing we no longer experienced random freezes.

    Hello,
    We made an in-place update of a 2016 to 2022 remote desktop server and had random freeze.
    We have installed a new VM (hosted on esx) with Server 2022 std and have the same issue.
    There are 24 users.
    Not all the users at the same time. Some users have no freeze. Some users, maybe the most active, have a lot of freeze.
    We are running Eset Server Security 8.0.12011.0.

    I haven't made any headway on this and it's still an issue. I ruled out AV software as above. We had did an in-place upgrade from 2019 to 2022 of a VM on Hyper-V, then a clean install on Hyper-V and it was an issue in both instances. If I find anything useful, I'll post here.
