Upgrading to Windows 11 24H2 causes remote desktop connections to Windows 7 machines not to show graphics correctly.

Alessandro Cipriano 205

After having upgraded Windows 11 to 24H2, the remote desktop connections to machines that use Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008R2 do not show graphic content correctly.

Returning to the previous Windows 11 version (23H2) has resolved the problem.

No problems with remote desktop connections to other machines with more recent operating systems. Unfortunately, the above-mentioned Windows 7 machine is "special", as it is used to control some very old industrial system control and it is not upgradable.

This same issue just popped up for me. I just "upgraded" to Win11 24H2 and my remote connection to my OLD development machine is now showing corrupt graphics or blank boxes.

Hitting the Experience settings on the remote session helped.
I set that to "LAN" and checked all the option boxes.

I tried both the Bitmap Caching options and neither setting fixed the graphics display.

Microsoft, if you're listening, HELP!

UPDATE:: See below comment from

Try to download Remote Desktop App from Microsoft Store.

This App connect seems a little slower than the Windows 11 RDC, but it fixed the graphics corruption problem for my situation!

I "rolled back" to the previous Windows 11 version, which temporarily resolved the problem. However, in this way, I blocked many other good improvement present in the 24H2.

Unfortunately, the only solution now is to return to the previous version (23H2). You should do that quickly, or it will become unavailable after a while.

Same problem here. Thunderbird menus on the remote computer are unusable.

I have recovered mstsc.exe and mstscax.dll from Windows.old ; and both .mui files from subdirectory en-US.

When launched from that location, it fixes the problem, but creates another.

The top menu bar is absent, so that you cannot disconnect from the remote session or reduce it in a window.

Same problem with Remote Desktop accessing an older Windows 7 machine after updating to 24H2. At first I thought it was a video card issue, until I noticed that another laptop just updated to 24H2 also had the problem. I will not update my remaining laptop for the time being!

Hi Frederic,

To fix the menu bar problem

I copied the following files from the 23H2 version, from the Windows.old folder:

C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe

C:\Windows\System32\mstscax.dll

C:\Windows\System32\en-US\mstsc.exe.mui

C:\Windows\System32\en-US\mstscax.dll.mui

C:\Windows\SystemResources\mstsc.exe.mun

C:\Windows\SystemResources\mstscax.dll.mun

It worked fine

Hello @marc picart, I already tried that (except that I have put a target location outside c:\windows) and the behaviour is a bit different. The remote desktop comes immediately a full-screen, and the top menu bar is absent.

Hence you cannot put the remote desktop in a window, neither close it in order to disconnect.

I cannot test anymore as I have reverted to 23H2 within the 10-days timeframe.

Is anyone experiencing this issue with Windows 2008R2 or Windows 7 running RDP 8 on their machines (which was an update, not what was released with the OS)? I'm wondering if that changes anything in regards to this issue as I don't think Microsoft will view it as a problem. The OSes of the servers being connected to are past end of of life and running versions of RDP that were not installed to currently supported versions of their PC and server products.

I believe I found a workaround, albeit a low quality one. I found this while tinkering with mRemoteNG and was able to do this with the Windows Remote Desktop Client with an .rdp file. When I set the color depth to 256 colors, I did not get the bars across my screen running sqldeveloper. I viewed table contents and ran a sql script without issue. It is an ugly screen, but it is legible. The Windows 11 RDP client does not offer 256 colors as an option but you can save a .rdp file and edit the file in notepad to set it there. The value you want to change is session bits per pixel (session bpp). It normally looks like "session bpp:i:32". It could be 15 or 16 depending on color depth picked when you saved the .rdp intially. Change it to the following: "session bpp:i:8", save the file, and then launch your remote desktop session using that .rdp file.

It is more complicated when you are using an RDM manager program that uses mstsc API.

This has been broken for some months now. I have to access older servers

it impacts hosts running

windows 2008 x86,

windows 2008 r2 X64

from any Windows 11 machine since the second or third windows insider release preview of 24H2

While RDM supports using older versions of the RDP Api supposedly from RDP6.1 to RDP 10.11 it makes no difference so far

FreeRDP API has problems with cutting and pasting the clipboard which is essential

time for a fix please Bill

I work for a medical Facility and The EHR we use connects via Remote desktop connection the program is centered around Windows Server 2008, When I did the update Windows 11, version 24H2 on 1-13-2025 I had logged into my EHR and it is comparable to the picture above, I went into the Microsoft Store and downloaded remote desktop connection and it fixed the graphical issues but now i cant access my printer. The printer is not wired it connects via Wifi. Does anybody know If i can uninstall the most recent update or how to get my printer to pick up through MICROSOFT REMOTE DESKTOP.

You can try my suggestion from Dec. 27th to get the standard PC remote desktop application working at 256 colors. The graphics are legible then but the color depth kind of sucks. That would then presumably allow you to use your printer with Remote Desktop. If you updated on the 13th, you might be able to go into the update history on Windows Update and roll the update back. If it's been more than 10 days, though, you won't have that option.

It is unacceptable that we have to replace the mstsc files with every Windows update.
Unfortunately, many functions are not possible with the new MS Remote Desktop.

I do not agree. I did that and explained it in a previous post. The remote desktop comes in a full screen window without a toolbar, and you cannot set the remote session in a window, or minimise it, or disconnect it.

The only way to return to your local computer is to logoff from the remote computer.

I was still in the timeframe to uninstall 24H2 and reverted to 23H2.

(I had other problems with 24H2 related to networking, IPv6, DNS and DHCP.)

Frederic DM, no, I insist it really works fine!

Checked on several PCs.

Are you sure you did exactly what suggested?

The situation without toolbar appears if resource files *.mun are absent.

Can you show all files and dirs of your dir with mstsc.exe?

To do that run cmd, then cd to your dir and there type command tree /f.

You should get this:

Sorry, I cannot do that. I have reverted to 23H2.

Anyway, what a mess in order to sort out what is needed and what is crap.

Not counting zillions occurrences in WinSXS

Thanks for your advice, I will keep a copy of those .mun files in a safe place, for the time MS will push forcefully 24H2 sooner or later.

This method of copying mstsc files from old built to a different location and starting older version of mstsc works if you are using remote desktop but if you have a remote app, it does not follow even if you point that remote app file to older mstsc version.

Hi everyone,

I did upgrade recently (14/2/2025) to Windows 11 version 24H2. Also, it causes problems with remote desktop connections to XP virtual machine, graphics are not shown correctly.

Does anyone knows if Microsoft self will solve this issue in future upgrades? It seems to me an unacceptable behavior as so many windows users all have this same problem.

Thanks in advance to Microsoft for professional help!

My last update was at 11/02/2025.

2025-02 Cumulatieve update voor op Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64 gebaseerde systemen (KB5051989).

There are still problems in my XP virtual machine via remote desktop connection. Missing some icon graphics in XP system environment and also in some XP programs. Graphic curves are not displayed solid, missing data points and also icons are not complete displayed in the programs. Accessing the icon buttons they become visible and complete, but it doesn't become stable at all.

I stay waiting for upgrade that solves it all.

I still use some older XP programs for my company and I cannot replace them by more recent versions, because they don't exist. So, I really need a good working stable XP environment like it was before the Windows 11 24H2 upgrade.

I have had this issue for two months and Microsoft still hasn't fixed it. I am an IT administrator and I have several affected servers, Windows 2008 and even some Windows 2003. I know they should be updated but they do their job perfectly. I have some users with the 24H2 version but more and more are coming. At the moment we have solved it using the old mstsc.exe. But that can stop working at any time. I hope Microsoft takes this seriously. Otherwise, between Windows 10 end of support and 24H2, companies are going to have to spend a fortune on renewals.

Hi everyone!

Here's a required structure:

Just copy those dirs and files from old build of Windows 11 23H2 to some place and then make a shortcut for this mstsc.exe file to your desktop and use it for rdp connections instead of a new one from 24H2.

If you have another locale than en-US, e.g. uk-UA, copy it with corresponding files too.

Also you can try to download my version, it includes en-US, ru-RU and uk-UA locales (5.4MB):

This wasn't working for me before but it is now. However, when I had added the SystemResources folder and files previously, I had already tried without it and I had continued to have the issue where menu options were missing. Another thing is when I went into the 24H2 client previously, I could swear it had the same blue title bar with the cutoff corners that dropped down on prior clients (including the 23H2 one):

Now when I go into the 24H2 client, the drop down bar is black and rectangular:

I tried multiple things since this time and last time (such as installing the Remote Desktop app from the store as well as some third party apps all of which were since uninstalled) and there's also been an update or two since then. Is there anyone who tried this previously who is still having the issue and can tell me if I was imagining things about that title bar being the same old blue in 24H2 previously? Anyway, this does work for me now and is a considerably better workaround than what I suggested if one still has access to the old 23H2 files.

This works if I run the mstsc.exe directly and then connect, but if I try to launch it specifying an .rdp (remote app) connection file it defaults to the the version in c:\windows\system32. I've tried from the command line, and through a shortcut. Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi @Comraddm,

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately that didn't work either, whatever I do, the Remote App is launched with mstsc.exe and when I check the location of the executable through Task Manager it shows C:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe and not the path of the older version.

Thanks again.

Hello, Colin H.

Download my archive from mega.nz, unzip it to your desktop, go to unzipped folder to subfolder system32 and make a shortcut from mstsc.exe in that folder to your desktop.

Then just drug and drop your rdp file onto this shortcut.

It should work!

Hi Comraddm,

I tried that, but what happens is that a process is launched which is the old version of mstsc.exe, but then this seems to launch a new process which is new version in c:\windows\system32.

I grabbed a screenshot of this happening in Process Explorer.

I don't understand why a new process is spawned upon launch of the RDP file.

Many thanks again for your help.

Good news happy campers..

Edition Windows 11 Pro for Workstations

Version 24H2 (insider Release Preview installed 1/2/2025)

OS build 26100.3037

Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.48.0

***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SEEMS to have resolved the issue
- MSTSC.EXE - FIXED - used direct (default.rdp)
- saved rdp - fixed
- RDM Devolutions using latest rdp - FIXED
***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in Passing..

I note that the top bar for MSTSC can be moved (dragged) from middle and hides unless it is pinned. You may have to feel around with the mouse for it - but that is not this topic.

Thanks Bill

It does not resolve the issue when connecting to Server 2008R2 via RDP.

GOOD NEWS!!!

Microsoft has released a feature pack update for Windows 11, 24H2:

2025-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5051987)

Just go to updates and run this update and it should fix the RDP issues.

Just so y'all are aware

The latest release preview build of W24H2 fixes the RDP API, and MSTSC.exe

The Modern APP remote desktop was never broken, The issues with Modern APP remote desktop were to do with the bar at the top and not part of this topic

Version 24H2 (insider Release Preview installed 1/2/2025)

OS build 26100.3037

Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.48.0

The Changed file is mstscax.dll which matches the Build Version and has a datetime stamp of 29/1/2025. and a build version of 10.0.26100.3037. this is the only changed file since October 2024

For release versions of Windows 11 Pro 24H2 build 26120.1912 the filedate is 3/10/2024

See: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/1gbq4y7/windows_11_24h2_rdp_session_hangs_on_logon/

"For anybody still having this issue, this was the solution that fixed it for me. Group Policy change to the following. No more hanging when reconnecting to disconnected 24H2 sessions!

Local Computer Policy> Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections > Select network detection on the server - set to Enabled, Turn off Connect Time Detect and Continuous Network Detect"

This topic is not about hanging rdp when connecting, but about apps artefacts inside rdp session.
