Remote Desktop CRASHING entire system on almost every connection - MacOS Monterey 12.0.1I am suffering a major problem since updating to macOS Monterey 12.0.1 on my Mac Mini M1. Show Almost every time I connect, RDP brings the whole system down by crashing WindowServer process. This causes an immediate forceful logout which closes everything I have open (without saving of course) and losing work. This happens about 80% of the time that I initiate an RDP connection. Using the latest AppStore version 10.7.0 but I also tried the BETA version 10.7.1 and it did not fix the issue, so I removed it. I uploaded a couple of the crash reports to Github in case someone wants to look at them. Please Help - I use RDP constantly to administer systems and without it I am totally stuck. remote-desktop-client Comment Comment · Show 4 Comment 5 |1600 characters needed characters left characters exceeded

I tried the recommendations mentioned above but they didn't work for me. I have Microsoft remote desktop 10.5.0 version and Big Sur as well. How can I make it work again? I tried calling Microsoft but unable to speak with a real person. Error code: 0x204 I am able to connect from a different Mac that doesn't have the Big Sur update, so evidently the remote computer is ok. The problem is the upgrade. Help!

Carl-2047 answered • Dec 31, '20 For me, Remote Desktop worked under both Catalina and Big Sur until we removed NTLM authentication to force Kerberos only. Once this was done, Domain\Users could no longer log into remote computers. The only account that does work is the Domain\Admins account. Administrators can log into remote machines as Administrator but they cannot log in as any other user. In my case, it would appear to be an authentication issue when Active Directory is not using NTLM. We have tried the latest Beta build 10.5.1 and it has the same issue.

Why Do I Need a Remote Desktop Connection for Mac?When Apple started manufacturing computers, their systems were entirely different than the PCs that ran Microsoft Windows products. Even in the first days of home computing, when systems used MSDOS, connecting the two brands into one system was an almost impossible task. With the Microsoft Remote Desktop, the impossible is now a comfortable user experience for almost everyone. It allows Mac users to remotely connect to their preferred Windows desktop to access network resources, apps, and even local files. This connection enables you to use almost any other device or computer from your Mac. Once you complete the steps to use RDP for Mac, you can access all of the other resources you need. ❗ You’ll need to set up the Windows PC to accept the remote connection as part of this process. Once you have that configuration correct, you can create the remote desktop on your macOS device. |
