As the subject says, I use Guacamole to control via RDP my Windows 10
laptop, all done inside my home network.
With 1.6.0 it happens that it connects just fine but I don't receive any
further frames other than the windows login screen (the blue screen),
it just stays stuck forever. I can move the mouse around, if I click
actions are detected on my laptop, but the frame is stuck so I cannot see
anything on the client browser.
With 1.5.5 it works just fine and I'm able to control my laptop with a
decent framerate.
Possibly useful info
*- my laptop OS*: Windows 10 Pro - 22H2 - Build 19045.6216
*- browser clients I tried:*
- Kindle browser on Kindle Scribe
- Firefox for Android on Pixel 4a
- *guacamole server* is installed on WSL on the same host to which I
connect to via RDP, WSL version is 2.2.4.0 and the host I'm running is
Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
- *guacamole client *runs on WSL too with apache-tomcat-9.0.108 and openjdk
