I updated my WORK laptop over the weekend to Win 11 version 22H2, and now my remote virtual desktop will not work. I log into my remote desktop using a domain, through the internet. It does not have an actual "program" that is installed on my laptop, but a domain name that I log into (which, incidentally, is supported by Windows Server 2016). I am able to successfully LOG IN, and a status bar comes up that says "initiating remote connection", then "securing remote connection", then "loading the virtual machine". Generally, after the "loading the virtual machine" it will pop up the remote desktop in a new environment (that can be windowed), looks just like it would if you are starting up your computer. However, now it is just sitting at "loading the virtual machine" and does not progress.
To compare, I have a PERSONAL laptop that also runs Win 11, but has NOT been updated to the new version, and I can log into my remote desktop from it with NO PROBLEMS. (no, I can not use it for work as it has no anti virus on it and I work in healthcare).
I have contacted my IT department and they say this is not something they can troubleshoot.
Please help.

2022-10-05T21:39:28+00:00 Sure, it is still fresh in my head haha.
So per the link provided below -
You will click in your search icon on Win 11 and type Registry Editor, which will bring up the registry editor. When it asks if you want to allow it to make changes, you click Yes.
You will expand the folder that says HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then expand the folder that says SOFTWARE, then expand Policies, then Microsoft, then Windows NT, then Terminal Services, then Client.
You will then select the Client folder so that its highlighted (it's blue on mine), and in the menu bar at the top, click EDIT, NEW, DWORD (32-bit) Value. The 32 and 64 bits have nothing to do with your computer being a 64bit or 32bit, by the way.
Then you will will see a new item pop up in the right side of the screen that says New Value #1. You will edit that to say fClientDisableUDP. Then you will right click on it, and select MODIFY, and in the box with the 0 in it, change that to 1.
Then reboot your computer and it should fix it.
Hope this helps!

Jhoren Kei 6 Reputation points2022-10-16T11:05:32.59+00:00 This worked perfectly! Thank you so much. I work an overnight shift and after the computer I use updated my sleep deprived brain couldn't handle the idea of being forced to upgrade windows just to use the remote desktop. If I could up vote this a million times I would.

Michael Harvey 1 Reputation point2022-11-28T10:18:34.047+00:00 This worked for one of my Windows 11 customers for about a week, then it reverted, back, I tried everything to get this fix work again but couldnt, I ended up turning off UDP with a local group policy instead and it worked.
Computer Configuration > Administration Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Connection Client. Set the "Turn Off UDP On Client" setting to Enabled.
