I'm running automated testing procedures that emulates keystrokes and mouseclicks 24/7.

Although it runs fine locally, on an RDP session it stops running once disconnected. Apparently, the GUI doesn't exist if you can't physically see it on the screen.

There is a registry work-around for keeping the GUI active for minimizing the window, but I know of no way to keep it alive after disconnect.

Does anyone know how I can get around this? Basically any solution that allows me to run my application on a rdp after disconnect?

Run TeamViewer. What happens in TeamViewer when you disconnect from the RDP?
 
I had faced the same problem.

You need to keep the window active or it will logout.

What i did was logged in to the instance which had the bot using another instance. I had used the amazon micro instance free tier.

This will keep the window active. Just close the amazon instance window keeping the bot instance window open.

As someone previously mentioned above, run teamviewer, the remote desktop protocol can be rendered to a stand still if you are running macros etc.
 
Depends, does the disconnect function kill the RDP session? Would be a question for developers IMO.
 
I have the same issue running bots with a macro.
Same with teamviewer as RDP.
@Rambo1 gave me an idea, since the session has to remain active, why not connect to it from another vps (cheap one) it should work. Thanks my friend for the idea!
 
Hi,

I have RDP Windows running on Win 7/10, and it wont stops if you disconnect from it, because it's not a windows server.
See my Homepage and Location on my profile on the right.
Thx
 
I think he wants to keep seeing the GUI of the RDP even when he closes it.

I don't think that is even possible.If you want to say something else please explain in detail what you actually want.
