Turn off desktop background for RDP connections

Have you tried in both mode:

- external
- embedded?

I only use external mode. I absolutely cannot stand embedded mode and have no clue why anyone would like that mode ever. lol

But in embedded mode it seems to work fine. So external mode is the one that is broken, which happens to be the only way I will ever use it.

Could you export the session into an .rdp and try it. You should see a value in the file name "disable wallpaper"

When I export to rdp this is set:

disable wallpaper:i:1

However, it looks like this line is needed for RDP to honor that setting and it is missing:

networkautodetect:i:0

If I add that one line, then all the set options work. Without that line it seems like RDP will auto detect the connection speed and enable/disable features as it sees fit.

I am guessing that setting was added with the RDP update that MS pushed out a while back.

Also, adding "connection type:i:6" with a value of 1-6 also helps when editing the .rdp file from within the RDP client. Without that setting, the RDP client will always default back to "Detect connection quality automatically" after editing.

So I am going to get any help with this? Are they going to fix the application so the setting actually works?

Hi,
This is on my todo list. You can already set connection type:i:6 if you choose LAN instead of defautl in the Performance tab

Hi,
This is now in our internal build. This should be released in the next beta

Awesome! I can't wait :)
