So, you want to type Y and hit enter. Windows 7 enable Remote Desktop. Press any key and you should be all set. On my computer for some reason it failed to properly configure the firewall. If this happens to you just go to the Windows control panel and click on firewall. Then, add an incoming TCP exception on port and you should be good to go. Posted in Guides.

Complains that mapping between account names and security IDs has not been done. Yes, obviously if you have something like RDP Wrapper installed it will interfere with the operation of this tool. Thank you so much for your ongoing maintenance of this patch. System is Windows 7 Home. Is there any way commands to set the options automatically on this installer? I cant push it automatically because of the two check mark options during install.
I use thin clients with it but connects only two.. Im using windows7 profesional. You should probably warn people that if you use this to allow more than one user to connect to the system, at the same time, you are in violation of the Windows 7 EULA. When I download it I get a warning:. Some security applications dislike tools like this because they patch system files and edit registry entries, which is similar to what malware might do. I tried the Feb patch on W7 Prof French version.
Not working. When trying to remotly connect, the session start but then stop. If a running session on console, this session is not impacted at all.
I still have problems with a KB version of Windows 7 Professional, I tried all 3 version but got always the same error of inknow checksum. Find out what the version number of the dll is. As far as I recall, there were no new dlls between October and October , so you might have the dll. This is a fantastic tool. Works flawlessly here following KB What am I doing wrong? I stopped Remote Desktop Services and still saying cannot access file termsrv.
Are there other processes that need to be stopped? Hi HAL! Deinstallation of KB solved the to the state before. Do you have patch for KB?? Please we need patch. Hallo, Windows 7 x64 Home Premium 6. PS: Hal, any link with the info about what has to be changed and where? I understand is something that has to be done with en hex editor to the file, correct? There is no specific page but several pages around the internet with plenty of old information about the bytes to change.
The tool is, in fact, a mixture of functions. Ok, thanks you for the clarification. I assumed it was just a few bytes on the dll and though of not bothering you again.
Zerox you are correct so thank you for that. I notice that KB is optional anyway so I will leave it uninstalled for now. For a list of the files that are provided in this update, download the file information for update I just uninstalled KB and declined future installation for now on this machine.
Now my W7Pro termsrv. Microsoft just do it again KB updates termsrv. Hello again! Microsoft released a new termsrv. Is there someone that know what is that has to changed in the file so we can do it manually and be done with it? Or if HAL has the time to commit a new version that recognizes this new checksum. What an enormous time saver since I can now connect remotely as the admin user and fix things without disturbing the local user!
Do you have a tip jar? Thanks again! I have been trying to get RDP to work for weeks. I have Win 7 Home. I set a password on the target machine my home laptop. What more do I have to do? It needs updating again. I did a full update with the latest rollups and the patcher works.
It seems even smart enough to restart RDP service because no reboot required! However for me it is back to normal. Just did a bunch of win 7 updates and it killed my RDP. I next tried teh new patch, but no difference. I am able to connect to the machine. Then the window size gets smaller for a second, then disappears. Maybe this is a different problem from this patch. Windows 7 Pro, 64bit. I run it as admin and reboot. But when I go to run it again, it thinks the dll is unpatched. And now I am limited to 4 concurrent users.
Previous versions of this patch on the same system allowed more than 4 users, now there is some limit which is imposed. Sounds like something might be replacing the patched dll on reboot.
When I do the same in Pro x64 and reboot, the tool still says the file is patched. The tool checks the MD5 checksum of the patched and unpatched dll. If it is telling you the dll is not patched after restarting, then the MD5 is the unpatched checksum and the file has reverted to the original.
That could be caused by security settings or software. That worked perfectly with the latest as of update of termsrv. Win7 pro x64 bit.. What should I do? This file was updated by Microsoft on File version: 1. Ever since there has been Windows updates that fixes the patch, so the concurrent RDP stops working.
I tried everything, but this time I can not figure out, what is the matter. RDP Service is working and it accepts connections. However, every time when I try to remotely connect this computer, the RDP client is able to establish the connection.
However, it will disconnect immediately without any warning, or message etc. I can see quick flash of my desktop.
When I logon this computer localy, I can see from taskmanager, that there is no other users logged on. So the logon fails. What can be the issue? I tried t0 use them all. I tried to restore the original. However, the result is the same, Is there any place to download prepatched termsrv.
The latest update to the tool will work with the Windows update mentioned, as you can see from others commenting it works on the latest dll as intended. If the checksum fails you have the wrong or an incompatible dll.
The tool will now not recognize the original RTM dll because I replaced that patch with this one by now nobody should be using it. Which version and architecture of Windows are you using? Is it an original install media or some custom install?
Thank you for answer. I found this. If in default setting, GPO allows me to connect max 5 users, why i have this problem with 2 connected users?
Hi HAL Any news on an update. Ok, I have updated the tool for the latest termsrv. Please try this version of the patcher and report back as I have been unable to test it properly. Use this tool at your own risk…. I have a 5 session to one PC with Windwos 7 Pro. Used an earlier rdp patcer and everything works fin. After this year updates in widows 7 i musz use a new rdp patcher. Multiple session is back, but on PC, whith i have connectet, at least, 5 session via rdp, i see tle last logget user desktop.
For examle: 3 users : Admin, X1, X2. Admin is localy logged on PC , and i see an Admin desktop. You may have to re-start your pc. Dear Hal! Please fix the patch we did not have unfortuna telly restore points and can not revert the changes. Now we are sitting duck and can not work.
Please let us know it you are fixed it. Thank you sir. Ran into the same problem and backing out kb worked for me. Hoping someone will come up with a revised patch for this so further updates can be allowed.
Because there is an updated termsrv. I second, package kb was causing the issue on my Windows 7 x64, once rolled back the dll revert to the patched version. We just got the latest windows update that happened yesterday and the Concurrent RDP patcher is now working now. An update around Sept broke this again sadly, been an avid user.
Yes, confirm. I have 60 computers running Win7 in my facility and rely on concurrent sessions heavily. I have had to disable these three updates on all. I hope this helps: kb kb kb — rolled this one back yesterday. Last time this happened in I was lucky enough to find out online what bytes needed to be patched, so could update the program.
Thanks, may I ask where you got that information from? There appears to be only about 2 bytes difference from the old dll and I need to check this out before trying to update the patcher…. Could log in with two users remotely and one user locally being member of the Remote Desktop Users group. Kaspersky endpoint security seems to block this. Any idea how to allow in the rules of the firewall for concurrent connections?
It works fine without Kaspersky enabled. It worked for me for years, using xfreerdp package freerdp from Linux to Windows Home. But since yesterday when I ran Windows Update for the first time in 3 months, I get these errors:. Hi yesterday I have done fresh installation Windows 7 home premium SP1 and fully updated and the patch not is working for me.
I tried patch-unpatch a lot of times but remote desktop open and looks is goingo to work but close ver fast without errors. Latest version works great on updated Windows 7 Professional! Make sure you are using the version on the very bottom of the post!
Not working on latest updated version of Home Premium x64 — termsrv. In the freaking middle of the night. Still 2hours to make this freaking server with 25 employees work. Stressed out. The entire company would be on production hold.
What could I do??! Found this site……. Man If I ever knew who had this solution patch? I would personally send them a beer!! Worked perfectly first time. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. Home Premium is not capable of RDP out of the box — that is why it is not working. That will finish it up for you. Pls it would be so helpfull. Downloaded this today and can confirm that it is still working on windows 7 professional.
Double click to run and enabled multiple logins per user, clicked patch and it kicked me off while it replaced the file. Waited 2 minutes then hopped back in and tested multiple concurrent sessions. As BrankoH said, any chance the desktops can mirror one another? I can connect and fully remote in from my android tablet but only to the main user.
I have a total of three users and when i try to remote into to ano other users it just keeps re-asking me for the password as if I had typed in the wrong passwords. I tried to make two users to be administrators with passwords and it still only allows remoting to the first user that was originally the administrator. It works super good but only for one user in the desktop. Awesome solution….. Says that Windows 7 Enterprise is not supported.
The patcher program is showing everything grayed out. I ran it on a different Windows 7 Professional machine and it worked fine. Will this work on Windows 7 Pro and Windows 10 Pro versions? What would happen if Microsoft decides to patch the file again. Will it cause system instability? Should we backup the original termsrv file first before installing?
Where is the file located? If Microsoft patches termsrv. If that happens we would need to update the tool again to patch the newer dll. If it does happen, is there place where we can download the newer patcher or do we just go back to this site? I cannot see remote desktop options in system preferences.
Hello there, thanks for the article, but i have a question, does this patch enables multimonitor on host? I ask that because my host has win7 pro, and by default that OS version does not support multimonitor. I still do not see Remote Desktop options, only Remote Assistance.
What gives? I installed the patch on both my computer and the one I want to remote into. Both are running Win 7 Home Premium. When I attempt to connect, it pops up the user and password input. I know it is the correct username and password. Any thoughts? You need to make sure the local user account for the machine you want to connect to is a member of the remote users group.
Click on Users, then find your account. The login name should be the first thing listed on the left. Then, go back, go to groups, and go to Remote Users group. Add your login account there if it is not already present. Unfortunately, that snap-in is not allowed on a computer running home premium. Any other thoughts? After trying literally everything, I found a solution. There was a discrepancy between the login name and the account name on the profile in Win7HP.
Normally, the login name is used for everything. Once corrected, I logged in without any issue. Hope this helps! A recent Windows update seems to have broken rdp. April 12, Anyone else have this problem and knows which one? Found the problem.
KB got installed again somehow. When I run RDP it still says unknown checksum with all the options greyed out.
Thanks very much. Reinstalled and ran the patch — worked just fine. Thanks again for your help! One more thing you need to do if you use Windows Firewall on your windows 7 home edition machine.
You need to create a new inbound rule to allow port I want to remote desktop over the internet but it wont work. I checked to see if the port was open at canyouseeme. I have a quick question. For example if I login with user X and worked on a word document. Can u close the RDP session without logging out and then log back into the same session so I can continue my work?
Also on the desktop where I installed the patch, if I have my main user logged in with multiple programs running with my current work opened. Right now when I log in with the same user, it creates a new session and hence does not take me to the current working window. No messages. Nothing in event logs either. Tried the patched version with Windows 7 Starter that has KB installed. Any ideas?
The patcher does not work with the Starter Edition because it has some networking and RDP restrictions. Hi, it is possible to run this patcher with parameters? I just found a great RDP patch that works with any version of windows. Remote desktop does not show on controlled computer [win 7 home prem ] but allows login using mstsc.
Are we talking about the same thing? Perhaps you are unaware, but the entire reason that the Concurrent patch exists is to enable RDP hosting in a Home edition of Windows. My computer is telling me that I will get the free upgrade to Windows However, this will be Windows 10 Home, which is not likely to include Remote Desktop.
Does anyone know a way of making this work? I turned off the firewall already, and uninstall antivirus too.. Thanks for taking your time to update this tool. After installing your updated version on my RDP host, I can get to the screen where I enter the user name and password from my RDP client but nothing happens after that.
It would help tremendously to get this to work so I can do part of my work at home. If the patching process just involves changing some of the codes in Termsvc can you please show which codes I need to replace? Unfortunately we are unable to test the patcher or make edits for any language version other than English.
After windows update, And also, I repatched it with KB As colin said, I also have same symptom, it accept username and password, but then it never show any messages, no response… just as like blocked by something. Could you please let me know what is problem?
Thank you in advance. Here the same issue. You can add the username and password, but nothings happening. Keep up the good work!! Thank you for keeping this up to date. Some of the other versions of this have since stopped working, but after pulling the troublesome updates, your updated version does the job. I am having a problem with changing the ports, though. Thanks again for keeping this up! Quick Heal is obviously talking rubbish, i. The result at Virustotal for the last released test version: virustotal.
Tested with windows 7 family premium and both version of the patch. The original version worked perfectly… Now it accepts the username, asks for password, but the remote desktop never loads. It just terminates with no message. Worked like a charm. BTW: I did it remotely. Via RDP, of course.
No problems. Yes No. Thank you! Any more feedback? The more you tell us the more we can help. Can you help us improve? Resolved my issue. Clear instructions. Easy to follow. No jargon. Pictures helped. Didn't match my screen. Incorrect instructions. Too technical.
