But I wanted to tell my story so that maybe it'll give you some clues. Sometimes it stops all on its own.īTW I am not complaining ! I love WSLg and it's preview software yet. Once I open Photoshop and copy part of an image to the clipboard, though, it starts like crazy. But when it happens once, it tends to do it more over the next hour, unless I reboot. Some days it does not happen at all and some others it's just a couple of times a day. It's not a complete fix because, mstsc keeps on stealing focus from time to time (after the 'fix' rdp session) Once I manage to use the PC again, I notice that xterm & now works. There's a fix, though : open RD client on my iPhone, connect to my PC, then disconnect. Interestingly, knowing it was somehow related to WSLg, I tried to launch xterm in my WSL2 terminal : I managed to do it, but it said : Embrace your Microsoft account First things first, youre going to need to create a Microsoft account. Maybe Photoshop somehow wrecks havoc on the GPU, which leads to the X server being unable to work? Also, you can add a credential to the Credential Manager from the command prompt using the built-in cmdkey tool: cmdkey /generic:termsrv/sql01. Select 'Allow remote connections to this computer' in the System Properties. The administrator password is needed to complete this step. The strange thing is that it starts whenever I open Photoshop. Click the Add a generic credential link Put the prefix TERMSRV/ in the Internet or Network Address before your Remote Desktop host name or IP address Set RDP user name and password Click OK. How do I remote into Windows from Mac Open the Launchpad icon and click on the Remote Desktop app icon or try to look for Microsoft Remote Desktop. Furthermore, there's nothing I can do to stop it when it occurs. I VPN frequently into my work PC which is an. It is annoying because, at some point, it keeps on launching it and I cannot even use my terminal anymore (except if clicking like mad to steal focus away from mstsc.exe at each keystroke). Im currently using RDP for Mac 2.1.1 I have a 2011 Macbook Air connected to a 2011 Apple Thunderbolt display 27.

I just want to mention that I have the same issue.
