I had the same issue with UltraVNC. The solution for me was to set “disable-display-resize”.

In Guacamole 1.6.0 I’ve found some VNC connections seem to freeze immediately. Essentially it stays stuck as a “screenshot” of when I first opened the connection. The connection is still open, and I can still interact (i.e. if I move a window in the Guacamole connection I can see it has an effect by monitoring the physical screen or watching it through another remote software, but nothing appears to change in Guacamole). OS affected: So far have only observed this issue with VNC connections to Windows Server 2022. Other versions of Windows appear to be fine. Guacamole Versions affected: Testing on 1.6.0 in a docker stack. Also tested with an older version of Guacamole (1.5.4, native install) which works fine with the same connections. LibVNC: The libvnc version in the guacd container (in /opt/guacamole/lib) is 0.9.15, I tested replacing this with 0.9.14 but the issue persisted. VNC Server: Using the latest version of UltraVNC server (1.6.4.0), however the issue is the same on older versions too. Tested with/without MSLogon II enabled, no difference. Also tested with TightVNC server which does NOT present the same issue. I also tested the connections with TightVNC Viewer and Remmina, both of which had no problems.
