GrumpyChunks / Windows RDP Client Fix.md
Last active September 15, 2023 05:58
Fix to stop Windows RDP clients from suppressing the remote system when the session is minimised.

Summary

This command will create the required registry entry to prevent RDP clients from suppressing the remote system when the client is minimised.

Why is this needed?

Say for example that you are running caffeine on the remote system to prevent the screen locking, if you then minimise the RDP session, then RDP suppression would normally kick in, which then prevents caffeine from keeping the system unlocked. Similar issues may exist for other software running on the system.

This line should be added to .bashrc to give a nice colour bash prompt with three distinct sections. Each section uses a different background colour, and when used with the 'Hack Nerd Regular' font (sudo apt install fonts-hack-ttf), there are nice transitions between the background colours.
