As of version 8.5, there is an option to keep the RDP-session active automatically. You can learn more about it in this article.
Description of an error
By default, in the minimized mode the target system goes to "screenless" mode - working with application elements, in this case, is unpredictable (for example, the Notepad menu items could be there, but the buttons on the calculator could be not). So, it may affect the result of actions as well.
Solution
Configure the terminal client so that the target system does not go into screenless mode. To do this, go to the registry and create a DWORD
parameter named RemoteDesktop_SuppressWhenMinimized
with the value 2
(it is recommended to set both parameters regardless of the bitness of the system) at the following paths:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client
(32 bit)
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client
(64-bit)
