Hello, friends. Help me! I used Windows 10 PC on my home to remotely access at work PC for a long time. However, recently I found the Remote Desktop freezing from time to time after the update. There’s no RDP error appearing on my PC, and the issue remains still even though I shut down and reboot the PC again and again. What can I do now? Any suggestions will be appreciated.”
- Question from Reddit
It is said that the issue is because the RDP protocol has lost some of its resilience to packets getting lost or out of order. Moreover, this may be triggered by the bug in Windows 10 that is unable to switch between TCP and UDP protocol seamlessly.
Therefore, what we should do is prevent UDP and switch to TCP. Here in this part, we'll introduce 3 ways of turning off UDP for fixing Microsoft Remote Desktop freezing on Windows 10 and 11, such as running CMD, using Registry Editor, and Group Policy.
Step 1. Search “cmd” in the search box and then right-click the option and choose “Run as Administrator”.
Step 2. Type the following command line:
Step 3. Reboot the PC and check whether RDP freezes still.
Step 1. Press Win + R and then type “regedit”, and then click on “OK”.
Step 2. Navigation:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client
Step 3. Right-click on the right pane, and then select New, and then choose “DWORD(32-bit) value."
Step 4. Copy “fClientDisableUDP” and then name the new DWORD Value. Set the value data to 1, and choose “Decimal”.
Step 5. Reboot the PC and check whether the RDP connection becomes smooth.
Step 1. Press Win + R and then enter “gpedit.msc”.
Step 2. Navigation:
Computer Configuration > Administrative templates > Windows components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Connection client
Step 3. Scroll down and find “Turn Off UDP On Client”.
Step 4. Double click on “Turn off UDP on Client” and then tick “Enabled”.
