Disable Template window on Host session
I created a few Host Session entries to connect to some servers. Everytime I double click the host to RDP into it, I get a window popup showing me to an empty Template List. I have to click on "Blank Template". to continue normally.
Is there any way to bypass this so the Window doesn't appear and automatically "selects Blank Template?"
I had created a couple of test templates, but the never show here. I am not really using any templates at all.

Hello Rick,
Thank you for contacting us regarding this matter.
Just to be certain, are you using a Host entry, or an RDP entry? If you are using a host session, it is meant to be used with a template, since it does not know which protocol to use by default. By selecting the "blank template", it will default to RDP.
If you always want to RDP with that entry, I will instead suggest using an RDP entry, this way it will launch without being prompted.
If you want to use a host entry because you had sub-entries underneath it, you could use an RDP session as one of the sub-entries, and this way, you would not be prompted for the template either.

I had created a bunch as Host instead of RDP, is there an easy way to change from host to RDP?
Hello Rick,
It is possible with a bit of PowerShell. First, select all you host entries, or do an advanced Search and look for Host type entries.
Then, do a right click, Edit > Edit (Special Actions)... 
Select "Custom PowerShell Command"
Put the following text in the window and click OK.
$hostname = $connection.Host;
$connection.ConnectionType= "RDPConfigured";
$connection.Host = $hostname;
$RDM.Save();
You should receive a success after:
Your host type entries will be RDP sessions afterward.
