Can't open more than one "Windows Terminal" sessions

Can't open more than one "Windows Terminal" sessions

After upgrading to RDM v2024.1.19.0 64-bit on 2 of my Windows 11 computer I can't open more than one "Windows Terminal" (Embedded-tabbed) sessions at the same time.
Basically it renders RDM unusable for me at this time.

Hello,
I have forwarded the thread to one of our dev. We will investigate the issue.

Thank you for the quick response.
For now I found a workaround. Replacing the Windows Terminal related folder in "C:\Program Files\Devolutions\Remote Desktop Manager\runtimes\win-x64\native\wt\" with the version I've found in Devolutions.RemoteDesktopManager.Bin.2023.3.39.0.zip package solves this problem.

Hi,

Downgrading the copy of Windows Terminal used by RDM will work around the issue, you can find the same Devolutions Windows Terminal distribution shipped with RDM here.

We have recently updated to Windows Terminal v1.18.2822.0 but it looks like a new singleton mode was introduced, which is why the second WT instance closes instantly. We're looking at patching it so we can force the singleton mode off, as it is not needed for the way we are using it in RDM.

Windows Terminal v1.16.10231.0 did not have this new singleton mode behavior which is why downgrading the copy of WT within the RDM installation path works. On our side, we'll look into either patching it quickly to resolve the issue on top of v1.18.2822.0 or downgrade to v1.16.10231.0 if it turns out to be tricky and would require more time to fix.

Best regards,
