RDP issue Windows 11 24H2

Reverting to the earlier version of Windows 11 RDP (23H2) does resolve the issue.

Connections to devices with newer operating systems remain unaffected.

Solution: RDP Issue

Note: You can simply use the RDP client from the MS Store and this should eliminate the problem,

The solution involves copying files form an older (23H2 or older) version of Windows, but first locate all the following files and RENAME them with a .OLD extension, to do this you will need to boot into safe mode, or from the recovery environment. Press and hold the Shift key while clicking Restart from the Start menu, Power menu, or the sign-in screen. Then the computer will reboot and enter the Recovery Mode.)
