How to Allow Multiple RDP Sessions on Windows 10 and 11

Remote users can connect to their Windows 10 and 11 computers through the Remote Desktop Services (RDP). All you need to do is enable Remote Desktop, grant the user RDP access permissions, and connect to the computer using any remote desktop client. However, the number of concurrent RDP sessions is limited in desktop versions of Windows. Only one active Remote Desktop user session is allowed.

A warning will appear asking you to disconnect the first user’s session if you try to establish a second RDP connection.

Another user is signed in. If you continue, they’ll be disconnected. Do you want to sign in anyway?

Number of Concurrent RDP Connections on Windows

There are several restrictions on the use of Remote Desktop Services in all desktop versions of Windows 10 and 11:

Only Windows Professional and Enterprise editions can accept remote desktop connections. RDP access is not allowed to Home/Single Language Windows editions;
Only one simultaneous RDP connection is available. Attempting to start a second RDP session will prompt the user to end the active session;
If the user is working at the computer console (locally), their local session is disconnected (locked) when they make a remote RDP connection. The remote RDP session will also be terminated if the user logs into Windows from the computer’s console.

The number of concurrent RDP connections on Windows is a license limitation. Microsoft prohibits the creation of a workstation-based Terminal RDP server for multiple users to work simultaneously.

If your tasks require the deployment of a terminal server, Microsoft suggests purchasing a Windows Server (allows two simultaneous RDP connections by default). If you need more concurrent user sessions, you will need to purchase RDS CALs, install, and configure the Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) role, or deploy an RDS farm.

Technically, any version of Windows with sufficient RAM and CPU resources can support dozens of remote user sessions simultaneously. On average, an RDP user session requires 150-200MB of memory (excluding running apps). This means that the maximum number of concurrent RDP sessions is limited only by the available resources of the computer.

In this article, we are going to show you three ways to remove the limit on the number of concurrent RDP connections in Windows 10 and 11:

RDP Wrapper
Modifying the termsrv.dll file
Upgrading Windows 10/11 edition to Enterprise for virtual desktops (multi-session)

Note. Any modifications to the operating system that are described in this article are considered a violation of the Windows License Agreement and may be used at your own risk.

Before you proceed, make sure that the Remote Desktop protocol is enabled in Windows.

Go to Settings -> System —> Remote Desktop -> Enable Remote Desktop;
Or use the classic Control Panel: run the command SystemPropertiesRemote and check the option Allow remote connection to this computer.

RDP Wrapper: Enable Multiple RDP Sessions on Windows

The RDP Wrapper Library OpenSource project allows you to enable multiple RDP sessions on Windows 10/11 without replacing the termsrv.dll file. This tool acts as a layer between SCM (Service Control Manager) and the Remote Desktop Services. The RDP wrapper doesn’t make any changes to the termsrv.dll file, it simply loads the termsrv with the modified settings.

Thus, the RDPWrap will work even in the case of termsrv.dll file update. It allows you not to be afraid of Windows updates.

Important. Before installing the RDP Wrapper, it is important to make sure that you are using the original (unpatched) version of the termsrv.dll file. Otherwise, the RDP Wrapper may become unstable or not start at all.

You can download the RDP Wrapper from the GitHub repository https://github.com/binarymaster/rdpwrap/releases (the latest available version of the RDP Wrapper Library is v1.6.2). The project hasn’t been updated since 2017, but it can be used in all new builds of Windows 10 and 11. To use the wrapper on modern versions of Windows, simply update the rdpwrap.ini configuration file.

RDP Wrapper is detected as a potentially dangerous program by most antivirus scanners. For example, it is classified as PUA:Win32/RDPWrap (Potentially Unwanted Software) with a low threat level by the built-in Microsoft Defender antivirus. If your antivirus settings are blocking the RDP Wrapper from starting, you will need to add it to the exceptions.

The RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip archive contains some files:

RDPWinst.exe — used to install/uninstall an RDP wrapper library;
RDPConf.exe — RDP Wrapper configuration tool;
RDPCheck.exe —an RDP check tool (Local RDP Checker);
install.bat, uninstall.bat, update.bat — batch files to install, uninstall, and update RDP Wrapper.

To install RDPWrap, run the install.bat file as an administrator. The program is installed in the C:\Program Files\RDP Wrapper directory.

Run RDPConfig.exe when the installation is complete.

Most likely, immediately after installation, the tool will show that the RDP wrapper is running (Installed, Running, Listening), but not working. Note the red [not supported] warning. It reports that this version of Windows 10 22H2 (ver. 10.0.19041.1949) is not supported by the RDPWrapper.

This is because the rdpwrap.ini configuration file does not contain settings for your Windows version (build). +

✅ Download the latest version of rdpwrap.ini here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sebaxakerhtc/rdpwrap.ini/master/rdpwrap.ini

Manually copy the contents of this page into the C:\Program Files\RDP Wrapper\rdpwrap.ini file. Or download the INI file using the PowerShell cmdlet Invoke-WebRequest (you must first stop the Remote Desktop service):

Stop-Service termservice -Force Invoke-WebRequest https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sebaxakerhtc/rdpwrap.ini/master/rdpwrap.ini -outfile "C:\Program Files\RDP Wrapper\rdpwrap.ini"

You can create a scheduled task to check for changes to rdpwrap.ini and update it automatically.

This screenshot shows that the latest version of the rdpwrap.ini file (Updated=2023-06-26) is used on the computer.

Restart your computer and run the RDPConfig.exe tool. Check that all items in the Diagnostics section are green and that the [Fully supported] message is displayed. The RDP wrapper started successfully on Windows 11 22H2 in my case.

Now try to establish several concurrent RDP sessions with this computer under different user accounts (use your favorite RDP client: mstsc.exe, RDCMan, mRemoteNG, etc).

You can use saved RDP credentials to connect to a remote computer.

You can check that two (or more) RDP sessions are active on the computer at the same time by using the command:

qwinsta

rdp-tcp#0         user1                 1  Active
rdp-tcp#1         user2                 2  Active

The RDPWrap tool is supported in all Windows editions, so you can build your own terminal (RDS) server on any Windows device. So you can turn any version of Windows client into a full-featured terminal server.

The following options are available in the RDP Wrapper:

Enable Remote Desktop
RDP Port —change the default remote desktop port number (TCP 3389)
Hide users on logon screen – allow hiding the list of users from the Windows Logon Screen;
Single session per user — allow several concurrent RDP sessions under the same user account. This option sets the fSingleSessionPerUser registry value to 0 (HKLM\SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\fSingleSessionPerUser). This parameter is also configured through the GPO option Restrict Remote Desktop Services to a single Remote Desktop Services session under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections;
The Session Shadowing Mode allows you to configure the remote control (shadow) connection mode to the RDP users’ desktops

You can set limits on the duration of RDP user sessions using the Group Policy. This allows idle user sessions to be automatically disconnected.

RDP Wrapper Not Working on Windows

In some cases, the RDP Wrapper may not work as you expect it to and you may not be able to use more than one RDP connection on Windows.

The termsrv.dll file version can be updated during Windows Updates installation. If the description for your version of Windows is missing from the rdpwrap.ini file, then the RDP Wrapper will not be able to apply the necessary settings. In this case, the status [not supported]. will be displayed in the RDP Wrapper Configuration window.

✅ In this case, you must update the rdpwrap.ini file as described above.

If RDP Wrapper does not work after updating the rdpwrap.ini file, try to open the rdpwrap.ini file and look for the section for your version of Windows.

How to understand if your Windows version is supported in rdpwrapper config?

The screenshot below shows that for my version of Windows 11 (10.0.22621.317) there are two sections of settings:

[10.0.22621.317]
...
[10.0.22621.317-SLInit]
...

If there is no section in the rdpwrap configuration file for your version of Windows, try searching the web for the rdpwrap.ini file. Add the configuration settings you found to the end of the file.

If the RDP Wrapper does not work after you install security updates or upgrade the Windows build, check that there is no Listener state: Not listening warning in the RDPWrap Diagnostics section.

Try updating the rdpwrap.ini file, and then reinstalling the rdpwrapper service:

rdpwinst.exe -u rdpwinst.exe -i

It can happen that when you try to make a second RDP connection as a different user, you will get an error message:

The number of connections to this computer is limited and all connections are in use right now. Try connecting later or contact your system administrator.

In this case, you can use the local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) to enable the “Limit number of connections” option under Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Connections section. Increase the ‘RD maximum connection allowed’ value to 999999.

Restart your computer to update the local Group Policy and apply the settings.

Patch the Termsrv.dll to Enable Multiple Remote Desktop Sessions

To remove the limit on the number of concurrent RDP user connections in Windows without using rdpwrapper, you can replace the original termsrv.dll file. This is the main library file used by the Remote Desktop Service. The file is located in the C:\Windows\System32 directory.

It is advisable to make a backup copy of the termsrv.dll file before editing or replacing it. This will help you to revert to the original version of the file if necessary. Open an elevated command prompt and run the command:

copy c:\Windows\System32\termsrv.dll termsrv.dll_backup

Then you need to take ownership of the termsrv.dll file. To change a file’s owner from TrustedInstaller to the local Administrators group, use the command:

takeown /F c:\Windows\System32\termsrv.dll /A

SUCCESS: The file (or folder): c:\Windows\System32\termsrv.dll now owned by the administrators group

Now use the icacls.exe tool to grant Full Control permissions to the termsrv.dll file for the local Administrators group:

icacls c:\Windows\System32\termsrv.dll /grant Administrators:F

processed file: c:\Windows\System32\termsrv.dll Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files.

Now you need to stop the Remote Desktop service (TermService) using the services.msc console or with the command:

net stop TermService

It also stops the Remote Desktop Services UserMode Port Redirector service.

Run the winver command or the following PowerShell command to find your Windows build number:

Get-ComputerInfo | select WindowsProductName, WindowsVersion

In my case, Windows 10 build 22H2 is installed.

Then open the termsrv.dll file using any HEX editor (for example, Tiny Hexer). Depending on the build of Windows you are using, you will need to find and replace the string according to the table below:

Windows build	Find the string	Replace with
Windows 11 22H2	39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 75 7A 01 00	B8 00 01 00 00 89 81 38 06 00 00 90
Windows 10 22H2	39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 85 45 01 00
Windows 11 21H2 (RTM)	39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 4F 68 01 00
Windows 10 x64 21H2	39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 DB 61 01 00
Windows 10 x64 21H1	39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 2B 5F 01 00
Windows 10 x64 20H2	39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 21 68 01 00
Windows 10 x64 2004	39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 D9 51 01 00
Windows 10 x64 1909	39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 5D 61 01 00
Windows 10 x64 1903	39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 5D 61 01 00
Windows 10 x64 1809	39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 3B 2B 01 00
Windows 10 x64 1803	8B 99 3C 06 00 00 8B B9 38 06 00 00
Windows 10 x64 1709	39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 B1 7D 02 00

Tiny Hexer cannot edit termsvr.dll file directly from the system32 folder. Copy it to your desktop and replace the original file after modifying it.

For example, my build of Windows 10 x64 is 22H2 19045.2006 (termsrv.dll file version is 10.0.19041.1949). Open the termsrv.dll file in Tiny Hexer, then find the text:

39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 75 7A 01 00

and replace it with:

B8 00 01 00 00 89 81 38 06 00 00 90

Save the file and start the TermService.

If something goes wrong and you experience some problems with the Remote Desktop service, stop the service and replace the modified termsrv.dll file with the original version:

copy termsrv.dll_backup c:\Windows\System32\termsrv.dll

To avoid manually editing the termsrv.dll file with a HEX editor, you can use the following PowerShell script to automatically patch the termsrv.dll file. The PowerShell script code is available in my GitHub repository at the following link:

https://github.com/maxbakhub/winposh/blob/main/termsrv_rdp_patch.ps1

This script was written for the Windows PowerShell version and does not work in modern PowerShell Core.

👍 The advantage of the method of enabling multiple RDP sessions in Windows 10 or 11 by replacing the termsrv.dll file is that antivirus software will not react to it (unlike RDPWrap, which is detected by many antivirus products as a malware/hack tool/trojan).

👎The disadvantage of this is that you will have to manually edit the file each time you update the Windows build (or if the monthly cumulative patches update the version of termsrv.dll).

Multiple Concurrent RDP Connections in Windows 10 Enterprise Multi-session

Microsoft has recently released a special edition of the operating system called Windows Enterprise Multi-Session (Previously known as Windows 10 Enterprise for Remote Sessions and Windows 10 Enterprise for Virtual Desktops)

The key feature of this edition is that it supports multiple concurrent RDP user sessions out of the box. Although the Windows multi-session edition is only allowed to be run in Azure VMs, you can install this edition on an on-premises network and use that computer as a terminal server (even though this would be against Microsoft’s licensing policies).

The Enterprise Multi-Session edition is available for both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Next up, we’re going to show you how to upgrade a Windows 10 Pro edition to Windows 10 Enterprise for Virtual Desktop and use it for multiple RDP users simultaneously.

Open a command prompt and check your current edition of Windows (Professional in this example):

DISM /online /Get-CurrentEdition

Upgrade your edition of Windows 10 from Pro to Enterprise with the command:

changepk.exe /ProductKey NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43

Now install the GVLK key for Windows 10 Enterprise for Remote Sessions:

slmgr.vbs /ipk CPWHC-NT2C7-VYW78-DHDB2-PG3GK

Check that your edition of Windows 10 has now changed to ServerRdsh (Windows 10 Enterprise for Virtual Desktops).

Activate your copy of Windows 10 Enterprise Multi-Session edition on your KMS server:

slmgr /skms kms-srv.woshub.local:1688 slmgr /ato

See the Key Management Service (KMS) Activation FAQ.

Open the Local GPO Editor (gpedit.msc) and enable Per-User licensing mode in the Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode (Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Licensing).

You must restart Windows after activation. Now try connecting to the computer using RDP with different user accounts. As you can see, Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session supports simultaneous RDP connections right out of the box.

This isnt working

The listening state is not working

Ben February 10, 2016 - 8:51 pm

Run the update.bat with administrator privileges

“Important. Before installing RDP Wrapper, it is important to make that you are using the original (unpatched) version of the termsrv.dll file. Otherwise, RDP Wrapper may become unstable or not start at all.”

How could you possibly confirm this? So this can’t be done on existing machines that have been in service for more than a few months or year? We patch every month with Patch Tuesday.

CommonSense March 19, 2025 - 8:56 pm

ummm, by using what’s called a “test” or “development” environment before going live? Grab a VM or 2, and run both instances and see.

aditi February 29, 2016 - 5:09 am

Hi Ben
I tried after update.bat file and still its not supporting for Listening.

Oleksiy Shtanko March 12, 2016 - 12:27 pm

On GitHub there is no archive with .exe’s anymore, only source code. Anyone have the already compiled version?

glenn March 12, 2016 - 3:20 pm

I cant find it either any help would be appreciate email to [email protected]

Oleksiy Shtanko March 12, 2016 - 4:33 pm

Apparently, the link in the article leads to an old or somewhat different fork of the project which contains only source codes.
The .exe’s are in the Release section over here: https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/releases

Meher March 17, 2016 - 6:02 am

Hi I am also getting same problem like Listener state [not supported ] and I have ran the update.bat file then I am getting error as Failed to Download latest INI from GitHub.

Jesus March 17, 2016 - 4:39 pm

A mi me ha funcionado correctamente tras ejecutar el archivo .bat. Comprabado en un Windows 10 Pro 64bits

Jesus March 17, 2016 - 4:40 pm

Perdón me refería al ejecutar el ACTUALIZADOR.BAT

Dave March 17, 2016 - 6:32 pm

Thanks. The link to rdpwrap is stale and it’s confusing because there are downloads available but none of them contain binaries. The link should be https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/releases.

MichaelZ March 24, 2016 - 4:04 am

I’m running Windows 10 Home and installed RDP Wrapper from the following binary listed above: “https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/releases”
A fix for the listener state when running RDPConf.exe or if you get a error in Update.bat about a serive not starting is to enable “Routing and Remote Access” in services.
Change it from disabled to automatic, then right click the service and start it. This worked for me I hope it helps.

ArtS March 28, 2016 - 11:25 pm

I found a site with the zip file containing the wininst.exe file.
https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/releases
I installed RDP Wrap and ran the Config. Everything was Green.
However, when I try to run a second user remotely, it removes the first user.
Everything looks good. On the host pc I am allowing all connections.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
If a User is connected through RDP to Windows 10 via USER1, How to prevent other users from other PCs to connect remotely to the same PC with Widows 10 using USER1.
In Other Words if there is a live RDP connection, I want to prevent other users to connect remotely at the same time forcing the live connection to break?

admin April 4, 2016 - 9:43 am

Hi
You can’t prevent such behavior.
Perhaps it will be easier to create a separate account for each remote user or allow multiple Remote Desktop sessions per user (registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer-> fSingleSessionPerUser = 0 )

larrybud December 16, 2020 - 4:56 pm

You would prevent them from doing so with a password.

If you only want a connection from a specific computer, set up firewall rules for port 3389 to only allow a certain mac address in

Max Korman April 4, 2016 - 9:11 am

By default each user is restricted to a single Remote Desktop session. You can allow multiple Remote Desktop sessions per user by changing a registry key:
Create (or edit) the follwoing registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer
Create a new DWORD value with name fSingleSessionPerUser
The possible values for this setting :
0×0 Allow multiple sessions per user
0×1 Force each user to a single session

Dennis May 25, 2016 - 1:28 pm

fSingleSessionPerUser only works for Windows Server versions.

Daniel June 11, 2016 - 12:08 pm

After installing latest updates on Windows, RDP Wrapper Library has stopped normal functioning
To fix this issue, try to run update.bat from release package

Hans September 29, 2016 - 11:43 am

Hi. Is is possible, that RDP Wrapper still does not work?

admin September 30, 2016 - 5:08 am

Hi,

You have tried to update using a update.bat file?

Hans October 2, 2016 - 8:16 pm

Hi, yes I have. After deinstalling and installing again the first log-in works sometimes, but then RDP only says “connecting…” for a few seconds and just stops without doing anything. The problem started after Windows 10 updated to 1607 (Build 14393.xxx) a couple of days ago.

Max October 3, 2016 - 7:43 am

Try to install RDP Wrapper Library v1.6.1 (_https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/releases). According to the developers, support of Windovs 10.0.14931.1000 and 10.0.14936.1000 was added to the ini file (_https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/issues/168)

Hans October 5, 2016 - 11:19 am

Hi, thanks for the replay. Sadly I am using 1.6.1, it is not working. Only optionI found so far is uninstalling, setting windows settings back to allowing RDP (after every uninstall it is set to no) and reinstalling. Then I have about 30 seconds to one minute to log every external user into windows.
I will try uninstalling the windows update, maybe that will help until windows forces the update back in.

Hans October 7, 2016 - 2:28 pm

I am back to 1511, that works without a problem.

Thanks for this article! Works perfectly. This, in combination with Hamachi (paid version so the service stays alive after logout), is a great!

Daniel Potter February 23, 2017 - 10:02 am

what is the maximum number of concurrent logged in users that it will support?

Simon March 14, 2017 - 8:39 pm

Is it possible to have 1 local user (physically at the PC) and 1 remote simultaneously)? I’m on Windows 10 Pro.

Christian July 19, 2017 - 5:04 am

Is it possible to use a computer with rdpwrapper local and with one or two remote connections?

How to configure?

If I am logged-in locally on my computer and work and a remote connection tries to get in then my local account must be closed otherwise the remote connecrion can be placed.
Is that normal??
Can I not use the computer local and remote (with another user account? – of course) at the same time?

It stop working after last update 1803 🙁

javier May 3, 2018 - 7:22 am

I will answer myself, if you overwrite termsrv.dll from older version 10.0.16299.15 for example you will be able to install correctly and works correctly with last version 1803

Replace the file in the :\Windows\system32\termsrv.dll directory with the old version of C:\Windows.old\system32\termsrv.dll, and restart the computer. After that, rdp wrapper starts working again! Tested on Windows 10 1803 Spring Update!

John C McKenney June 2, 2018 - 2:14 pm

Avira says this is malware. Chrome says it’s dangerous. Comments about that?

Garry May 6, 2019 - 4:06 pm

Microsoft has the power to have any software that mods Windows listed as “malware” to scare people away from using it.

Greg August 21, 2018 - 12:31 pm

My current version of termsrv.dll is 17741 and my prior version is 17738. I notice that the size of termsrv has changed dramatically from 339k to 992k. Both of these releases also control an additional service called Remote Desktop Services UserMode Port Redirector, I don’t know if the older versions controlled that service or not. Bottom line, I can’t modify termsrv because the hex string to search for is no longer in the module, rdpwrapper does not work with the updated termsrv. I downloaded the patched version of termsrv.dll but haven’t tried using it yet. that will be my next adventure. Somehow I think it may not work only because it appears the code has been redesigned to function differently than was originally designed. However, I’m going to give it a try.

Greg August 21, 2018 - 1:13 pm

Tried the downloaded version of termsrv, it just crashed when starting. put 17741 back in place. Anyone have any ideas here?

Ross February 8, 2019 - 8:38 pm

Very funny, It looks like no one is using antivirus here…
The file RDPConf.exe contains a virus that gives access to external people to your PC (RemAdmin)

Gechurch July 15, 2019 - 4:29 am

The point of the software is to modify Windows to allow multiple remote connections. It’s expected behaviour to have antivirus software flag it as a risk that allows remote connections.

gming February 13, 2019 - 5:07 am

I also installed
17763.107.101029-1455.rs5_release_svc_refresh_CLIENTENTERPRISEEVAL_OEMRET_x64FRE_en-us
4518890KB
windows enterprise 1809 evaluation 90 days & applied patch. It was working perfectly.
It was working as single user with many multisession at a time, (multi login single user RDP as it is normal with windows server 2016/2008)
It was also working as different terminal services users with multisession to a single machine.
I see there updates on machine were installed and then single user with multiple session is no longer working. I don’t cause the issue. Update KB4487044 / KB4470755 / KB4483452 installed on 13-Feb-2019.
Later i uninstalled those two KB but still the multi login/ simultaneously single user with terminal services for different sessions didn’t worked. (the kb4470788 was not removable)
I used two things to make it happened
1.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server fSingleSessionPerUser key Change the key value from 1 to 0
2.) RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip 1.52MB
Can some one assist to make again windows 10 pro or entp 1809 multi-logging same user with differnt concurrent sessions to single host locally or remotely as I done previously so that I get updates as well.

From here, first set the Restrict Remote Desktop Services user to a single Remote Desktop Services session parameter to Disabled.

Next, double-click on Limit number of connections and then set the RD Maximum Connections allowed to 999999.

What am I missing here? The updated .ini is there. Everything appears to be correct but it will not work.

Sean C March 28, 2019 - 6:48 am

Use an updated INI file that supports 1809 and it will work as expected… read the thread here for details:

Suddenly a restrictionon 2 rdp sessions appeared in Windows 7.
When reinstalling rdpwrapper:
[!] This version of Terminal Services is supported partially.
It means you may have some limitations such as only 2 concurrent sessions.
Try running “update.bat” or “RDPWInst -w” to download latest INI file.
If it doesn’t help, send your termsrv.dll to project developer for support.
After removing KB4489878 everything is OK.

dk April 12, 2019 - 5:29 am

The rdpwrapper stopped working in my Windows 10.0.17134.706 (windows 10 1803 x 64) after installing new updates on April 11, 2019.
I upgraded my Windows 10 to 1809 (the file was updated to 10.0.17763.437), then I edited the rdpwrap.ini file and add the following section:

Johnny May 22, 2019 - 9:40 pm

Hey,

I got the latest rdpwrap.ini:
https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/files/3062713/rdpwrap.zip

to replace the existing one, I had to first stop the Remote Desktop Services windows service.
(which will also stop another service: Remote Desktop Services UserMode Port Redirector)

The file is now editable/replaceable.
Then replace C:\Program Files\RDP Wrapper\rdpwrap.ini (in my case I just copy paste the extra section but I needed to run my text editor in Administrator privilege mode)
restart the 2 windows service (also make sure they are in automatic start mode)

And bingo, I now see [fully supported]

Aruna Telshan June 28, 2019 - 6:56 am

Wow! Its working.. Thanks for the info i have been searched a solution for hours.

That’s all.

RDPWRAPPER works fine for me on 1809 but I noticed that the printer redirection has stopped working, anyone else have this problem

Johnix June 27, 2019 - 12:02 am

Hi. Is the Wrapper use illegal?

Remote access. No more than once every 90 days, you may designate a single user who physically uses the licensed device as the licensed user. The licensed user may access the licensed device from another device using remote access technologies. Other users, at different times, may access the licensed device from another device using remote access technologies, but only on devices separately licensed to run the same or higher edition of this software.

From https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Useterms/Retail/Windows/10/UseTerms_Retail_Windows_10_English.htm

Yes, this is violation of the Microsoft licensing agreement.

I think you need to reset the local administrator password using a boot, rescue or install disk.

Hello,
we did a security update on windows 10 Pro, today 7/24/19, and after it we can connect only one RDP at a time. So we changed the termsrv.dll, did all as instructed, and now we can’t connect even one RDP, we get Access Denied error. Any suggestions how we may solve this?

Ion July 24, 2019 - 7:23 pm

also worth to note that I disconnected the windows auto-updater, and for some reason it still told one of the users (administrators) that there is an update that has to be made.

Will appreciate any suggestions, impacting my work big time.

Rob September 21, 2019 - 8:54 pm

If you updated to version 1903 less than 10 days ago you can go to settins > updates > recovery and use the go back to the previous version of Windows 10 option. Version 1903 was recently released and not sure if there is a fix for it yet.

Hi there, maybe somebody has logged in. Have you checked that more than one session are allowed?

eyallvy February 1, 2020 - 5:52 pm

Great and detailed instructions, obviously written by a real pro. However…

1. The RDP Wrapper software gets marked as malware, both by Malwarebytes and Trend Micro antivirus apps. In comes up relatively clean on the VirusTotal site, but I didn’t dare ignore my antivirus app warnings and opted instead for editing the termsvr.dll file as per instructions. The result works fine, but the instructions about editing it appear to be missing a small but crucial item…

2. The Tiny Hexer editor app refused to edit termsvr.dll while in was inside the system32 folder and gave an error message. I intuitively copied it out to another, non-system folder and the edit went fine. I then copied the edited file back into the system32 folder and all was well.

Please keep up the great work and add updates as regards the edits required to termsvr.dll in future updates of W10.

n19htmare February 10, 2020 - 5:00 pm

Yep a few people are saying RDP Wrapper is infected. Is there any other software?

admin February 11, 2020 - 7:26 am

You can use the modified termsrv.dll file instead of RDP Wrapper.

BobH February 15, 2020 - 3:59 pm

Still get ‘listener not supported’ on Windows 10 Home v1909 with RDP Wrapper v1.6.2, latest version of rdpwrap.ini and patching termsrv.dll as described by Rob and the hex editing table you had provided. I also tried enabling Routing and Remote Access in services. I had run update.bat and even tried the RDPWinst commands with no success. I guess there’s no way to get RDP to work with Windows 10 Home.

Robert February 17, 2020 - 3:59 am

With Windows 10 x64 1909, the listening state is no supported, even with the latest ini file

It worked for me by modified termsrv.dll. Thank you.

Dean April 20, 2020 - 4:24 pm

Hi,
So I think I’d like to use the code modification method – changing the termsrv.dll file – and Not use RDP Wrapper. It sounds straightforward. I don’t want to install software that might set off virus warning bells. And all I really care about is being able to allow a 2nd user (RDP or local) without bumping an existing user (RDP or local) off.

However, it seems RDP Wrapper tool provides for numerous parameters:
– specifying a different RDP port
– type of Authentication Mode
– type of Session Shadowing Mode
– etc.

Does anybody know What the termsrv.dll code changes above actually does ?
What settings/configuration is being setup ?
For instance, I specifically do Not want to use the default port (3389). But does the termsrv.dll code changes above allow for a port other than 3389 ?

Thanks, appreciate any helpful responses/comments.

Dean April 20, 2020 - 4:26 pm

fyi – I already have my RDP setup with a different port #

admin April 21, 2020 - 6:26 am

You can change the RDP listening port number on your computer in accordance with the article https://woshub.com/change-rdp-port-3389-windows/

Dean April 24, 2020 - 7:12 pm

Thanks for the response, but I already have my RDP connection setup with a different port #. The gist of my question is, what does the code change method actually do ?? For example, one of my concerns is, if I change the termsrv.dll file…. does that code (those parameters) override my port # setup…. and ‘that’ code relies on using the default of 3389 ? How about Authentication Mode or Session Shadowing Mode, etc.

Bharath TSR May 1, 2020 - 11:43 am

I also edited the INI file in Program Files\RDP Wrapper to include that version at the end. Just copied the latest 10.0.1836* version groups and added the current version.

PCFixerGuy June 18, 2020 - 10:21 am

Just a heads up everyone: In THIS instance, RDPCheck.exe still told me “Not Supported” but it DOES work.

Nate August 3, 2020 - 6:03 pm

Curious whether the same revision to the wrapper could be done for 18363.997?

Win10 build 1904: i write the termsrv.dll and worked. but the string wan’t exactly match. it was 39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 xx xx xx xx that i replaced with B8 00 01 00 00 89 81 38 06 00 00 90.

What is the hex code on Windows 10 20H1? Does this method work on Enterprise Image?

Ucup September 26, 2020 - 2:12 am

i was upgrade windows 10 home to pro, and i installed rdp wrap.
its say ok. listening and fully supported, but i still cant using remote desktop with multiple sesion.

joe September 26, 2020 - 2:47 pm

HI. need the rdp edit for window 10 version 2004 which they keep updating.
i edited termsrv.dll and rebooted .. service started ok.. but no mulitiple logins.
so msn has done some thing else or the hex edis for version 1909 does not work on 2004.
i have not tried rdp wrapper becuse it wont down load under virus protection. i may
turn that off and down load.

Calab September 26, 2020 - 7:05 pm

I tried to install this and now I can’t resolve any DNS. Pinging IP’s works, but not names. This looks like a virus to me.

Kubat October 2, 2020 - 1:38 am

Everyone, Thanks to the great work by the author and everyone who has posted to assist everyone. I have the new version 2004 and have used tiny Hexer, just as the author says and got everything working fine. Here is the needed data for the new version and how I found the area to make the change. Using Tiny Hexor I used a backup to mod first (follow the directions on ownership and icals and making backup) Use tiny hexer to find
Windows 10 x64 2004 39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 D9 51 01 00
Replace with B8 00 01 00 00 89 81 38 06 00 00 90
In the future search for just 39 81 3C 06 00 00 as that never appears to change and replace the full hex (12 pairs starting with 39 81 3C 06 00 00 ) and replace with B8 00 01 00 00 89 81 38 06 00 00 90
Hopes this helps everyone and stay safe and healthy.

Regards, sorry me for my bad english.
I used your procedure using the RDPWrap-v1.6.2.zip.
It works but if I try to log in from another PC, in the same account I log off the account of the PC I connect to.
How can I solve?
Thank you.

erminio October 15, 2020 - 6:22 pm

roadparc November 12, 2020 - 8:28 pm

Use the latest version which is 1.6.2 (https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/releases) Follow the procedure on that page and then download the update for the .ini file for the latest version of Windows on this page:
https://github.com/asmtron/rdpwrap/blob/master/binary-download.md
Again read and follow the procedures.
I did everything they say and it is working for Windoes Version 10.0.19041.84

Read Kubat mes … In the future search for just 39 81 3C 06 00 00 as that never appears to change and replace the full hex (12 pairs starting with 39 81 3C 06 00 00 ) and replace with B8 00 01 00 00 89 81 38 06 00 00 90

Doug January 7, 2021 - 10:30 pm

I have Windows 10 Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.1256). Using TinyHexer and HxD, I am having trouble finding 39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 5D 61 01 00 to replace with B8 00 01 00 00 89 81 38 06 00 00 90. When I do a find for the value it states “No Results”. Even if i just search for 39, I get the same results so I know I am doing something wrong. I am not very familiar with Hex Editing software. Can anyone provide more details in how to change the termsvr.dll file with TinyHexer? I have tried using RDP Wrapper and although everything appears as if it should work, I cannot get multiple RDP sessions to work. By the way, EXCELLENTLY written by the Author and great feedback as well!!

DaveC January 13, 2021 - 6:17 pm

Just found windows build 2004 on my machine after auto update. Not finding the code strings in the termsrv.dll anymore. Has the hex editing instruction here no longer effective with this latest build?

Frank January 14, 2021 - 11:19 am

Same here! Las windows update has modified termsrv.dll and can’t find the string anymore.
Someone can tell what is the new string to search for ?

Thanks.

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.746]
For this version what code should be looked up for and replaced with.

czesio January 19, 2021 - 7:33 pm

Microsoft has been updated very quick recently.
Computer has just updated to latest version windows 10 pro version 2004, OS 19041.264

recheck termsrv.dll
It has been overwrote by the latest update.

It is
39 81 3c 06 00 00 0F 84 D9 51 01 00

Replace to
B8 00 01 00 00 89 81 38 06 00 00 90

This solution runs without additional software RDP Wrapper or RD Plus.
It is successful allowed multiple users access at same time simultaneously。

Kalandor January 21, 2021 - 12:24 pm

Used this on 20H2 build 19041.746

searched for

replaced with
B8 00 01 00 00 89 81 38 06 00 00 90

Works without RDPWrapper .. of course backup termsrv.dll before editing.

Thanks Kalandor – that worked for 20H2! FYI – can’t use Tiny Hexer to patch termsrv.dll in \windows\system32, even after taking ownership and setting full access (it would never find the file, probably due to inherited permissions). Had to copy termsrv.dll to another directory (i.e Downloads), use Tiny Hexer to patch that file, then copy the file back to \windows\system32

Anyone that could shine a light on this would be great!
Thanks you!

Never mind that, it’s the same string as .746. I have looked at it and at first I wasn’t finding that string. I was probably doing something wrong in the search. Tried again after a good night of sleep and, well, it’s working now. Tested!

Anyone knows how to do it for Windows 10 Pro 1909 Build 18363.1440?? Please help!!!

BobH April 18, 2021 - 1:24 am

I’m trying to set up an AWS Lightsail instance and ran into a surprising trap. This instance is running Windows Server 2019 and the greedy SOB’s only allow 2 simultaneous RDP connections. Purchasing Remote Desktop Services CAL’s is ridiculously expensive at about $100/user. I’m thinking about patching termsrv.dll just like I”ve done successfully on a Windows 10 computer. The problem here, is that you have to be able to connect to the instance other than with RDP. TeamViewer is deliberately blocked by AWS (so they can sell you and expensive integration via their AWS marketplace) – only can use it when connected via RDP. SSH doesn’t appear to be possible with a Windows Server instance, only with Linux instances.

If I can get connected to the instance with anything other than RDP, I can attempt the RDP patch.

Jamie Mason April 25, 2021 - 1:01 am

The DLL mod works great with Windows 10 20H2 / 1909 (Pro x64). Like others above have said, since the search string changes, it is best to search for “39 81 3C 06 00 00” as that part never seems to change. In my case, the whole string I had to find was actually:

39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 01 5E 01 00

A couple other tips:
–Make sure you are searching for a hex value, not text-string, integer, etc. In the HxD hex editor, you have to select the data type and text-string is the default.
–Make sure you open the hex editor with admin permissions or it won’t allow you to modify the DLL file. Right click the hex editor in the start menu and select “run as administrator”

TY May 5, 2021 - 4:02 am

Nailed it, thanks Jamie

Hi John, a workaround working since a couple of years aften any windows update, is simple to search only for 39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 the next 4 number are the specific jump adress. Only those 4 numbers changes between the updates. e.g. in 20H2 I found 39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 and 21 68 01 00 , therefor replace 39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 21 68 01 00 with B8 00 01 00 00 89 81 38 06 00 00 90 , that is it. Keep in mind, this procedure may be works also after the next “surprising” update. Best Regards.

Hello, the workaround is not working for me on version 10.0.19041.1081

Manny July 16, 2021 - 4:42 pm

For new termsrv.dll version 19041.1081
Windows Build 21H2 19042.1083
Or
Windows Build 21H1 19043.1110

Search for:
39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 DB 61 01 00

Replace it with:
B8 00 01 00 00 89 81 38 06 00 00 90

Remember:
The entire string is 12 pairs.
For a different version, search for the first 8 pairs (39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84) and fill in the rest with the last 4 pairs you will find on your version.
Then replace the entire 12 pairs with the string (Replace it with)

The only solution that worked. Thank you all!

neutrino September 18, 2021 - 1:43 pm

The procedure from MANNY works fine after any major update since a couple of years. Search for the 39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 XX XX XX XX and replace it with B8 00 01 00 00 89 81 38 06 00 00 90 . you can use a disassembler like IDA to see what is gone, the ask of termserv to the operating system “Are multible sessions allowed” gives with B8 00 01 00 00 89 81 38 06 00 00 90 always the answer Yes :-). During the replacement, the termserv is stopped, but you can use anydesk to connect to the machine remotely as admin. After restarting the termserv by a reboot, everything with RDP is still working.

Hi Nel –

Does the result of this script enable someone to use the console and simultaneous RDP connection without any prompts or user input to allow/disallow?

Jürgen October 23, 2021 - 8:06 pm

Hi,

RDPWrap solved the problem to use simultaneous RDP session but brought another problem: if I close RDP and reconnect than all running applications from the old session were closed and some applications running in background also are closed.

Anybody with the same behaviour and a possible solution?

admin October 26, 2021 - 10:59 am

Try to use the “Single Session Per User” option and configure the RDP timeouts correctly.

For new termsrv.dll version 19041.1202

Tested with

Note for this build: The file changed but the string is the same as in 19041.1081

Great Content!!! would the termsrv.dll editing method work for this version “Windows Server 2016 Essentials
Version 1607(OS Build 14393.4704)”. Has anyone tried? Below is the string i could locate 39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 4D 94 02 00. This server of mine has an domain controller on same servr as well hence posting to confirm before going ahead to edit.

admin November 10, 2021 - 11:53 am

I have not tested the termsrv.dll file fix for Windows Server 2016 Essentials.
I think the easiest way for you is to deploy a clean VM with an evaluation version of Windows Server 2016 Essentials and try to edit the termsrv.dll. This will not affect your production environment.

x64, 39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F 84 * * * *, B8 00 01 00 00 89 81 38 06 00 00 90

Running 20H2 though, but I suppose if the DLL version is the same that would make no difference

Great tool and explanation and guide for how to use it! Thanks!

But yesterday I had to install all the pending updates of our Windows Pro and RDP stop to work, only one session was allowed. I tried everything, RDPupdate, uninstall re install, reboot the system, new .ini download… no way. I suspected it could be a problem of a new termsrv.dll and, yes, there was a new .dll dated just in yesterday, 30/03/22. So, I recovered an old .dll I had in a backup taken on 14/03/22 and it worked again.

Any idea of what other thing I could have done?

Thanks again

Hello.
I’ve been using the RDPWrapper for several years now.
Everything works fine, all green, fully supported, all is good.
But there is one thing I’d like to ask to those who can help.

When enabling “multiple «per-user» sessions”…
Is there a way to choose which specific session to login into?
If there’s currently only 1 logged in session, is it possible for RDP to choose this very same session regardless of enabling the concurrent per-user option

Furthermore, is there also a way to use this as some sort of a remote assistance manner?
(as in, being in the exact same session of another location, both sharing the same mouse/keyboard)?

I see some shadowing mode options, but never really figured out how to use that.

Justin June 8, 2022 - 1:31 am

Been using RDP Wrapper for many years. Updated to H1H2 and all was fine. Then about 2 weeks ago it stopped working. No updates have been installed since the last time it worked. Says supported and listening, all is green. But two different users cannot be logged in at the same time. The guy that runs the Github can’t figure it out either. It’s happening to many people. Start with issue #353.

https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/issues/353

https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/issues/1873

This is an old issue that once it pops up, no one can fix it. Every single machine on my network is now hosed. I’ll looking into running this script but only if I can automate it.

@KALOYAN
I did patch the file as you described and am facing an “interesting” behaviour now. If I log into the machine locally and open a program, this program is not visible in the RDP session. It happens vice versa as well. The processes of the programs I opened however are still running (just not visible).

KALOYAN September 30, 2022 - 1:15 pm

Hi, RAYNOR,
It’s due to replacing offset at 10D32, witch unlocks multi-session. You can have one session locally and another with same user from RDP. Try it locally opening RDP to localhost with same user.

What can be done for RDP to work on Win11 with ver 10.0.22621.608

srg April 2, 2023 - 3:46 pm

the “Hex edit” works for W10 but there isn’t a code for “The Birdie” / Canary release.
The Git hub MSI version of rdp wrapper gives a Windows Defender popup of “This program contains malware” if you try download it, the download can still be done. Not willing to try that -but works on W10 with the Hex edit.

Fabiano May 18, 2023 - 2:16 am

Hey guys, check out my PowerShell script on GitHub! I’m working on doing a better job, thank you very much! https://github.com/fabianosrc/TermsrvPatcher

Bryan December 8, 2023 - 8:21 pm

The whole purpose of purchasing a MS Professional version OS is to join it to a domain. If while someone is working, and you can’t login with an administrator account to update programs and OS updates, whats the purpose of having a professianal MS OS Joined to your domain? Just so that I can see it on AD? No, its so that it can be managed. Managing is part of updating, and doing work on multiple computers a time. I get so frusterated with MS, because they know it can be done, but do nothing about it, even try to force windows to now allow multiple users. Its fine if they force this on home edition, or something less that professional.

Ockert Brits April 18, 2024 - 9:09 am

Agreed – Microsoft could have at least made Windows Pro support TWO concurrent RDS sessions as is with Server Edition.
One can make a PowerShell session connection, BUT NOT a RDS session, so you first have to log a user off, before you can check something on a computer!

Assistance Needed: `termsrv.dll` v10.0.22621.2861 – Regex Pattern Not Found

Hey guys,
Encountering an issue with a PowerShell script for `termsrv.dll` version 10.0.22621.2861. The script uses this regex to identify a byte sequence:
$patternregex = ([regex]’39 81 3C 06 00 00(\s\S\S){6}’)

However, it fails to find the pattern in the specified termsrv.dll. It seems the byte sequence might differ in this version.
Seeking insights or an updated regex pattern compatible with v10.0.22621.2861.

Best Regards,

Hi,
thanks for the how to on the topic. I was trying the update on the enterprise multiple sessions version successfully until activation with the given kms-srv.woshub.local:1688 server adress. which ended with an error. It was unable to reach it. Can you help/advise? Is the server currently down?

admin September 23, 2024 - 2:56 pm

kms-srv.woshub.local:1688 is not a real world KMS server. It’s just an example. You should replace it with your own KMS host FQDN.

Has anyone gotten the Termsrv.dll patch method to work in Windows 11 24H2?

trafsta October 8, 2024 - 3:04 pm

Just to elaborate, I get a “0x904 0x0” rdp error shortly after logging in with credentials and the connection drops. Remote desktop works fine with the original .dll, but not after the hex edit. The size of the termsrv.dll has changed a lot in 24H2 I believe… I tried a manual hex edit and also used the powershell script. The powershell script appears to replace values in two locations which I doubt is right. But the manual edit, when changed in just the one spot (which I think I was able to find correctly), I get the error mentioned above after login.

Fabiano October 9, 2024 - 12:14 am

Hello guys. Please, look at this: https://github.com/fabianosrc/TermsrvPatcher

trafsta October 11, 2024 - 2:17 pm

Thanks but I did try that already but from what I could see it replaces the hex code in two places in the .dll (not just one) and it doesn’t work for me (I get disconnected shortly after entering my credentials during logon via remote desktop with error code “0x904 0x0”).
I’ve been using the termsrv.dll hex edit for half a decade in Windows 10 with great success, but now that I am trying to use it in Windows 11 24H2 I am not having much luck. This is the output of the powershell script you mentioned on Win11 24H2:

It replaces entries in two spots on the termsrv.dll:

I don’t think it should be replacing it on two spots… Windows 10 it would just replace it in one… something isn’t right here from what I can tell for Win11 24H2… maybe Microsoft changes something major in the termsrv.dll for 24H2? I don’t know…

Fabiano October 11, 2024 - 4:20 pm

Thanks for reporting this bug. I’ll fix the regex in the script so it doesn’t replace the pattern twice.

trafsta October 15, 2024 - 1:23 am

Awesome, that would be great, thanks. Hopefully I’ll have better results with the upgraded script. I suspect, however, that I may still get the same error code “0x904 0x0” disconnection after logging in with our username and password. I’ll have to wait to see.

The script to modify the termsrv.dll is not working for me either after instaling Windows 11 24H2.

Based on my understanding, I replaced $patternregex = ([regex]’39 81 3C 06 00 00(\s\S\S){6}’) with $patternregex = ([regex]’39 81 3C 06 00 00 0F(\s\S\S){5}’) but it did not work and getting the standard message Another user is signed in. If you continue, they’ll be disconnected. Do you want to sign in anyway?

Appears to me that $patch = ‘B8 00 01 00 00 89 81 38 06 00 00 90’ doesn’t work for Windows 11 24H2.

Thanks but the wrapper isn’t an option for everyone (due to AV picking it up as a virus, etc). So we are trying to find a non-wrapper option (hex editing the termsrv.dll) like we’ve used for a decade or so in Win7/Win10 and earlier versions of Win11.

Which code? Which .ini file?

When you install RDP Wraper in C:\Program Files\RDP Wrapper, there are 2 files in that folder, rdpwrap.dll and rdpwrap.ini. You STOP the service named Remote Desktop Service (Win key +R -> services.msc), you open rdpwrap.ini with notepad, you delete all the lines and paste the new code. When you hit save, it will say you cannot save in that location. You save it in Downloads or Desktop or any other location. You go to where you saved it and you copy it over the one in C:\Program Files\RDP Wrapper. You then START back the service Remote Desktop Service and run RDPConf.exe to make sure all is green light.

It appears that the updated strings that Roberto posted above (using the code from https://github.com/fabianosrc/TermsrvPatcher) is longer working after the April security patches when running Windows 11 24H2.

After more research, I realized that Windows wasn’t letting me copy the modified termsrv.dll file to the C:\Windows\System32 folder. it appeared to copy, but wasn’t actually and it never errored out.

I was able to successfully run the TermsrvPatcher PowerShell script successfully, however.
