When a RemoteApp session become disconnected e.g. idle timeout the user cannot reconnect. If he close the rdp window to start a new connection he cannot because in the background the mstsc.exe still running blocking the user to start it again. The only way we found is to end the mstsc task from task manager which is quite inconvenient. It is under Windows 11. Does anyone experience the same?
