session disconnect

About this tag
Discussions about session disconnect in Windows environments cover several recurring issues. Users report that disconnected Remote Desktop sessions on Windows Server 2016 do not terminate after the configured timeout in Local Users and Groups or Group Policy. In VDI environments with RD Web Access, clicking Cancel on the connection bar still disconnects the session. On Windows 7 Enterprise, disconnected sessions automatically log out after about five minutes despite no timeouts set in Group Policy. Another common problem is a protocol error when shadowing a user session via Terminal Services Manager from Windows 7, causing the session to disconnect. These threads focus on troubleshooting session disconnect behavior in Remote Desktop Services and terminal server scenarios.
