Description

I am trying to connect to my windows server by creating a connection from latest guacamole. I was able to successfully access the server without any issue and perform the work needed. 

 

However, when I update the connection with the remote app configuration to access only notepad application after the connection, I see a black screen and the rdp connection drops after few seconds.

 

Please find the attachments for the combinations of remote app programs. Please suggest if I am missing something in my configuration.

I see the same issue on Windows Server 2016 DataCenter and Windows Server 2022 DataCenter

 

Based on guacd logs, I see below:
