IT teams received a boost this week after Microsoft fixed some significant issues with Remote Desktop Services (RDS), Hyper-V and other products.
The problems started with this month’s Patch Tuesday, issued on September 8, which included fixes for a record 974 CVEs.
Microsoft acknowledged three days later on September 11 that some customers had been having problems with a range of products.
“In some environments, RDS might become unstable, resulting in RDP connections failing after several minutes, sign-in issues, or servers hanging at ‘Please wait for the Remote Desktop Configuration’,” it said in a health status update.
“Related tools, including Microsoft Management Console (MMC), RDS Licensing Diagnoser, and File Explorer might also become unresponsive. Additionally, the Windows Update page might stop responding and continuously display a loading indicator.”
