Hello everyone.
I was just wondering if any one has experience with remote desktop in
Windows 10 pro.
I am running Windows 10 pro in a VirtualBox VM. I have Guacamole configured
to work with remote desktop but I am frustrated with the connection. The
most reproducible version of this problem is a simple browser refresh of
Guacamole's Windows connection, on reload I get the error message "The
connection has been closed because the server is taking too long to
respond..."  The worst part is that I have to reboot the VM to get it
working again. I have Windows configured with the following settings:
modified registry keys

ignore cert and security
<http://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/configuring-guacamole.html#rdp>
I also have a Linux VM running VNC works much more consistently. And VRDE
<https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch07.html#vrde> (VirtualBox's RDP
client) also works consistently.

I see 4 potential solutions to this problem:

   - Spend more time trying to configure remote desktop in Windows.
   - Install Windows Server (which would have the added benefit of allowing
   multiple connections.
   - Install and use TightVNC instead of remote desktop (also may allow
   multiple connections)
   - Switch to purely using VRDE for my Windows connections (most limiting
   and hacky feeling solution)

Let me know what you think of these options or if you have another solution.
Thanks
