We are deploying Windows 10 1607 across our company and we are currently having an issue with printers not redirecting over Remote Desktop to a Windows 2012 R2 server: Printing crashes the RDP client. The session remains disconnected on the Terminal Server. The broken print job remains in the print queue.

If you can not see the printer from Windows 10 1803 client on the RDP server then you need to install the printer driver at the RDP server.

What I had to do was look at the event viewer for the exact printer to install the correct printer driver in the print manager in order to get the redirected printer to work, how ever, all the printers do not sow up under the printers and devices menu, but when you go to print, you can select on of the redirected printers.

I too have had problems using RemoteFX USB Redirection on a Windows 7 Client to a remote host on Azure running Windows 10, while the same machine configuration would successfully redirect USB to a Windows 8.1 Azure VM.

To be clear I've not had issues with the USB redirection for common devices (Flash drives, Printers, etc) that are supported with the vanilla setup of Remote Desktop. This type of USB redirection, for example, allowing me to see a Flash drive that I plug in to my Windows 7 client is working perfectly for me as I can see it in Explorer in the Azure VM.

A comparison of standard RDP redirection and RemoteFX redirection is detailed in this blog entry.

My particular USB redirection problem relates to the classes of devices not handled by the basic RDP high-level redirection, and for that I've enabled RemoteFX USB redirection on previous releases of Windows. When this is functioning correctly the computer icon () appears in the Remote Desktop title bar allowing me to select which device should be redirected to the VM.


Titlebar when RemoteFX USB Redirection is working

Following the instructions on numerous web resources for enabling RemoteFX USB redirection worked for me for earlier OS versions (i.e. Windows 8.1 on a Azure VM), but would not work for any Windows 10 VM I created. The titlebar stubbornly remained without the RemoteFX USB redirection feature.

Titlebar when RemoteFX USB Redirection was not working

I finally stumbled across this thread which solved my problem.

It seems there is one more step needed on a Windows 10 host compared to previous OS versions and that is:

  1. Run gpedit.msc on the target VM (the target windows 10 Virtual Machine) to start the Group Policy Editor. gpedit.msc can be typed in from a run dialog (use WinKey+R) if you have administrator access, or start an elevated CMD.EXE and type gpedit.msc from the command line.

  2. Locate the item Computer Configuration Administrative Templates Windows Components Remote Desktop Services Remote Desktop Session Host Device and Resource Redirection Do not allow supported Plug and Play device redirection from the treeview of the Group Policy Editor.

  3. Bizarrely set this item to Disabled.

  4. Run gpupdate /forceWindows server 2003 service pack 2 x64. from an elevated command prompt.

  5. At least disconnect RDP session and connect again, if this does not work reboot target VM.

You now need to update the machine's policy usinggpupdate /force from the command line. Then reboot the machine for the change to actually take effect and enable the RemoteFX USB redirection option in your Remote Desktop Connection client.Once it's enabled, access the Local Resources tab, click More under Local devices and resources, and you'll see a new Other supports RemoteFX USB devices setting. You can use this setting to map through many types of USB hardware that you couldn't with vanilla RDP USB redirection.

USB RemoteFX Passthrough Not working on Some PC's

I had multiple PC's that met the hardware specs but were missing the Remotefx option in RDP.

The solution was this:

in Programs & Features uninstall the 'Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver'

Windows 10 Printer Redirected 2

This driver is NOT compatible with RemoteFX passthrough.
