I've already posted the question at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-performance/remote-desktop-keeps-dropping-connection/ca049248-20fa-473b-9f42-4239824374f4 but was told this would be a better forum to ask my question.
I've just upgraded to Windows 8 from Windows 7. The main issue I have with Windows 8 is that the remote desktop client is somehow broken for me. Whenever I use it, it blocks (i.e. I cannot interact with the remote computer) and then I get the pseudo-dialog box stating reconnecting and it will reconnect and I get back the remote access. It does this all the time (about every few minutes). It looks like the client is dropping the connection and automatically re-establishing it.
Note that when I cannot interact with the remote computer, I can still ping it just fine. So clearly it is not a connection problem. I even have on the same machine a virtual machine machine running Windows XP Pro and in there the remote desktop client from XP never drops the connection, nor blocks.
Anyone having similar issue or tips on how I could debug this?
Thanks,
Manu
