This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.


When I reconnect to an existing Remote Desktop session on my development machine, the instance of Visual Studio that is already open will hang or become unresponsive. A "Visual Studio is busy" notification will appear after several seconds.

The development machine is running Visual Studio 2019 16.2 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

I am connecting to the remote via Remote Desktop Connection 10.0.18362.1 on Windows 10.

I tried recording the steps before, and it said nothing was recorded, even though the problem did occur. I'll give it another try. These are the steps that cause the issue in Visual Studio:
1. Open Visual Studio 2019 on the remote server
2. Exit the remote session (do not sign out)
3. Reconnect to the remote session
4. Visual Studio 2019 will consistently be unresponsive in the remote session, even after several minutes
This time, I tried the Steps Recorder again, and it became unresponsive after I clicked Stop (screenshot attached). After about 2 minutes, the Steps Recorder said there was an error trying to save the recorded steps.
