Attempts to interact with the RDP session as it does this are futile. Once the window fully minimizes to null, the user gets deposited back to the standard RDP sign in screen and is able to log back into the machine where the process repeats itself.


I am able to duplicate this on several Macbook's under different users and different RDP sessions. Additionally I can duplicate this when connecting over several different networks.


This solution has worked previously with no issues for many many months. Problem has just begun this week. No OSX or MS RDP App updates have been installed since it last worked. PC users can connect using the same methodology with no issues.
