When trying to open explorer it just gets stuck on a black screen. But if i click on windows it logs in to the session. Any help? I am not very tech savvy and very new to linux. But I think i followed everything. I am using linux mint. ss attached. |

SOLVED. Turns out the problem was FreeRDP version mismatch. I was using freerdp 3.5.1.But downgrading to 3.5.0 fixed it. I downgraded the following packages. I am using linux mint so if you are same as me the following command will probably help you. sudo apt install --allow-downgrades Then locked the version to prevent auto-updates: sudo apt-mark hold freerdp3-x11 libfreerdp3-3 libfreerdp-client3-3 libwinpr3-3 |
