Upgrading to Windows 11 24H2 causes remote desktop connections to Windows 7 machines not to show graphics correctly.

After having upgraded Windows 11 to 24H2, the remote desktop connections to machines that use Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008R2 do not show graphic content correctly.

Returning to the previous Windows 11 version (23H2) has resolved the problem.

No problems with remote desktop connections to other machines with more recent operating systems. Unfortunately, the above-mentioned Windows 7 machine is "special", as it is used to control some very old industrial system control and it is not upgradable.

    The same happened to me, but when accessing applications that needs Java. Windows Explorer and Browsers runs fine.

    I was able to solve the issue.

    I used an older version of mstsc.exe from 2007. I created the RDP file using this version, saving the correct parameters, such as screen resolution and security warnings.

    To use the new RDP, I made a shortcut on the Desktop to run c:\temp\mstsc.exe c:\temp\profile.rpd.

    This cleared the problem of the screen not filling in correctly.

    Until a Microsoft Update addresses the problem, this is a workaround.
