Windows 11: Solve RDP connection problems

Published at 14 Mar 2025

There's a known issue with Windows 11, when connecting to another computer via RDP it shows the reconection message every minute.

In order to solve it, we should disable UDP in RDP connections.

First, we need to open the Group Policy Editor.

gpedit.msc

Next, we should navigate to the Remote Desktop Connection Client configuration:

 - Local Computer Policy
 | - Computer Configuration
   | - Administrative Templates
     | - Windows Components
       | - Remote Desktop Services
         | - Remote Desktop Connection Client

There we should change the Turn off UDP on client value to Enabled.

This will disable the ability of RDP to use the UDP protocol.

Finally, we can reboot our computer or run gpupdate in order to apply the new policies.
