RDM minimises during session disconnects
Hi Team,
I have the below setup.
From my laptop (win11), i do RDP (using windows native rdp application) into a windows server 2022.
RDM is installed on the windows server. I have a bunch of sessions opened. I have around 20 tab groups with each one having around 5-10 sessions. Most of these sessions are ssh but i do have a few rdp sessions also.
Now when i close a tab (either ssh or rdp) or when a session closes because of server disconnections (server reboots), RDM goes to background and comes back to foreground multiple times. We dont observe anything if we keep looking at the rdm window but if we look at the rdm tile in windows toolbar, we can see that it is flapping.
This gets really annoying when we are actively working on a session and some other session disconnects and then all the mouse and keyboard clicks goes to the application in the background which will come to foreground.
I am attaching a recording of the windows toolbar when it flaps.
Thankyou.

Hello,
Uploaded the video. Unfortunately, i couldn't record the whole RDM window as there is sensitive information. I could only record the windows toolbar. We can clearly see the flapping in the toolbar.
Thankyou.
Try updating RDM to the latest version and adjust settings related to session management and notifications. Check Windows Focus Assist to reduce disruptions. I’ve been using oxessays.com for a few months now, and it’s been a huge help with my assignments. The quality of the essays is always high, and they deliver on time.

When a session ends, RDM refreshes its state, bringing it to the foreground, which seems to be a focus issue. Have you tried these solutions:
Go to User Interface > Keep Application in Foreground and disable it to check the RDM settings. Try utilizing a workspace or fewer active sessions in instead of several tab groups. If RDM is set to reconnect automatically, it may cause frequent UI refreshes.Enable Focus Assist to reduce unnecessary UI interruptions.Bugs in older versions might cause flickering, so ensure both are up to date.For a break from troubleshooting, why not try an easy chicken tikka recipe?

@omarhuzaifa72,
Are you a single user of RDM? I am asking this because if you are a single user, I would recommend trying our latest release, which is RDM 2025.1.25.
