I have an issue that started around July 1st.

I’ve written several utility apps for work. They all live on a network share and are run on a server that I access via RDP. They all worked fine until July 1st. Since then, if I close RDP with the login session still running, they crash. Previous to July, my apps were happily still running when I RDP’d back in.

This is no doubt a Windows change, but I can’t figure out why. Any guesses?

Windows Server 2019 (patched monthly, including ‘other MS updates’)

Looks like you’re losing access to some resource when disconnecting. Have you implemented App.Unhandled event handler? You could attempt to write the stack & error details to a text file which may give you clues as to which resource you no longer have access to.

It could be this:

> If it’s an Active Directory environment, check to make sure the option `End a disconnected session` isn’t checked under properties for the affected user in ADUC.

This issue resolved itself. It’s likely an update to some MS product resolved it.
