WIN 1903 REMOTE DESKTOP FAILS. Works fine in 1809
Hi folks,
I need some help/guidance.
I have a home network with 8 workstation/PC's and two domain controllers. All but one of the PC's are at 1903 and the DC's are Server 2012 R2.
I RDP from my desk into 4 of the PC's which are headless. It has always worked flawlessly.... until now.
The PC's are fairly old. One of the PC's, after upgrading (upgrade was offered by MS!) from 1809 to 1903, locked up when I RDP'd into it (from my 1903 machine). I read somewhere that this was a known issue with certain older onboard video chipsets. This particular machine used G43/G45 Express Chipset onboard video . . . and that was supposedly one of the offending chipsets. So, I installed an Nvidia 1050 video card with 1903 approved drivers in the PC (first I restored 1809... then re-upgraded to 1903). I also disabled the onboard video in bios. Windows 1903 ran just fine...…. until I RDP'd in... same problem... box locks up after a short period of time. Requires hard reset. As long as I don't RDP in, the PC runs 1903 just fine.
What am I missing here? When I RDP into the PC, is it using some other RDP video driver that is still "bad" in 1903? I did also try deleting the G43/G45 device in device manager and using generic PC video and that DID work.... but every time I rebooted, it re-loaded the G43/G45 device-drivers (that's when I went the Nvidia route). I have upgraded and then downgraded back to 1809 three times in the last month hoping some driver got updated.... no luck.
Any advice is appreciated.
