Microsoft remote

[Sebastian Coors]

Until two weeks ago, it was possible to access VMware Fusion with a Windows 11 operating system from my iPad using the Windows Remote app. The VMware runs on a 2025 MacMini Pro with an M4 chip.

Since an update, the Windows app now reports: "Connection cannot be established – The graphics display components in the remote session could not be started."

Has anyone experienced this issue or found a solution?

This has been discussed in this Fusion forum post: https://community.broadcom.com/vmware-cloud-foundation/question/cant-connect-windows-11-arm-vm-using-remote-desktop-on-host-machine-macos-m1

It appears that the issue started with a recent Windows update. Going to the Windows Device Manager, deleting the Microsoft Remote Display Adapter device, and restarting the VM seems to have worked around this issue.
