Identity in favorites updates don't propagate and cannot edit identities after restart

Identity in favorites updates don't propagate and cannot edit identities after restart but before open previous version 2026.2.17.0 64-bit (JIT)
Since updating to 2026.2.16 and 17 I am having several issues

  1. I have an id that changes password daily so I placed it in my favorites. However now when I edit it and save it still shows the old password in favorites but when I switch back to the vault it shows the new password and then when I save there it finally propagates to favorites. It is as if the favorites view is holding on to a cached copy.
  2. If I restart RDM I used to be able to open the navigation panel and edit my admin id to change the password and then answer yes to the open previous sessions. Now the panel just beeps when I click it and will not open forcing me to cancel the open previous sessions

Hello Devin,

Thank you for reaching out!!

Could you please confirm the following information when you have the time:

  • Which workspace (formally known as datasource) do you have configured?
  • Whether the Favorites propagation delay reproduces on any Favorite entry, or only on the identity you rotate daily.
  • If you temporarily remove the identity from Favorites and edit it directly from its vault, does the new password apply cleanly on the first save, or do you still see the same delay before the change is picked up?


Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

I am using a local data source under AppData\Local\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager\Connections.db. I really only have 1 id item that changes regularly added to my favorites which when I edit from there it doesn't update in favorites unless I edit it from the vault directly. Haven't tried any other. I just tested it with another ID added to an ID group in favorites. I edit the password adding a 123 at the end and save. Then I reopen it under favorites and the 123 isn't there but if I switch back to vault and open the ID the 123 is there and if I save then it shows up in favorites and works from favorites. No delay if I edit it from vault.

The bigger issue is not being able to edit entries on restart while the dialogue to reconnect previous sessions is up. I used to be able to do this so I could update changed passwords so that the session reconnects would succeed

I had to downgrade to 2026.1.24. All other versions since then appear to have the issue where I cannot edit the id items after reboot but for choosing reconnect to past connections and they have the issue where editing entries in favorites save to the vault while the old entry stays in the favorites view .

Hello,

Thank you for the feedback. Could you please confirm the following so we can try to reproduce the issues on our side:

  • For Favourites, does the stale view happen with entries other than Identities (RDP, SSH), or only Identities?
  • Are the impacted entries directly in the Favorites root, inside an Identity group, or both?
  • For the beep, if you click the reopen dialog title bar first and then the navigation pane, does anything change?
  • If you cancel the reopen dialog first, can you edit the Identity normally?


Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

Since i have downgraded i had to install rdm on another system to test it out. Allowed it to upgrade to the latest version 2026.2.18 and it still has the same problem. on a different host any version since 2026.2 if you edit any part of the entry while in the favorites panel and choose save and then reopen it what you saved will not be present and the entry launched from favorites will launch with the old parameters. This is easily reproducible. However, if i edit in the favorites panel choose save then switch to the vault panel and open the entry the changes saved in the favorites panel will be present in the vault panel and choosing save from vault will make them available in both the vault and favorites panel.
As far as choosing the restore panel title and then the navigation panel that doesnt work either.
