Re: RDP Freeze - troubleshooting steps
OK, so the server itself doesn't become totally unresponsive, since
some sessions and the console session continue to work OK.
Regarding the sessions that do freeze, does it happen during
logging on and starting the session, or does it happen while they
have been connected and working for a longer period?
If you don't reset a frozen session, does it eventually become
responsive again, or not?
I'm not sure at all if this helps, but I would check these
