Windows 11 - Fix 22H2 Remote Desktop issues!

Welcome to a crucial troubleshooting guide for Windows 11 users. In this video, we tackle a specific issue faced by many using Windows 11 22H2: Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connectivity problems. We’ll guide you through creating a targeted Group Policy to resolve these issues effectively.

What We Cover in This Tutorial

This video is designed to provide a comprehensive solution to the RDP issues in Windows 11 22H2, focusing on:

  1. Creating a Specific Group Policy: We’ll show you how to set up a Group Policy that forces RDP clients to use TCP instead of UDP.
  2. Implementing WMI Filters: To ensure this policy only applies to affected Windows 11 22H2 devices, we use WMI Filters for precision targeting.
  3. Manual Registry Edit: Step-by-step instructions on how to disable UDP connections via the Windows Registry.

The Issue at Hand

The 22H2 update for Windows 11 introduced a bug affecting RDP performance. While UDP is typically faster than TCP for RDP connections, this bug necessitates a temporary shift to TCP to ensure stable and reliable remote desktop sessions.

Implementing the Fix

We will guide you through:

  • Setting up the Group Policy: Utilizing WMI Filters to specifically target Windows 11 22H2 devices.
  • Registry Modification:

      Path: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services\Client
      Entry: fClientDisableUDP (DWORD)
      Value: 1
    

    This registry edit disables UDP in RDP, reverting to TCP, and requires a device restart for changes to take effect.
