Hi
I just created a virtual machine in azure, I followed the steps on MSDN to install a desktop env on VM, everything works perfectly before I try to connect the VM with windows "remote desktop connection" (Windows 10), I can get into the login interface, after I input my username and password, it flashes back to my desktop's "remote desktop connection".
I've tried to restart the vm but it did not work, I've also tried different sessions in the login form, every session shows a error form in the remote window
Is anything I've missed? any kind of advice would be great, thank you!

    "The issue is regarding this link : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/use-remote-desktop
    The problem I got is every time I type in the username and password in the xrdp interface, the remote window closes.
    I searched a lot and tried to repeat the steps, it turned out to be this command below probably got skipped.
    echo xfce4-session >~/.xsession
    Everything works perfectly after I run this command on my computer with powershell."

    I would recommend to enable boot diagnostics and check the screenshot of the VM for further troubleshooting.
