This week, Microsoft issued an Out-of-band (OOB) update to resolve Remote Desktop issues affecting Windows server products. While this is not a security update, it is notable for utilities relying on Remote Desktop that might be experiencing performance issues. According to Microsoft, users “might experience a black screen, slow sign in, or general slowness. You might also be unable to use Remote Desktop to reach the server.

To install the update, users will have to visit the Microsoft Update Catalog for detailed instructions. Read more at BleepingComputer.
