Why does RDCMan crash immediately upon opening?
RDCMan crashes straight to the desktop or hangs in the task manager without loading servers, persisting even after a complete operating system reinstall. This prevents users from accessing their remote servers.

“I have used RDCMan on this computer (Windows 11 Pro, 25H2, OS Build 26200.9445) for accessing servers remotely for the last couple of months. One day a couple of weeks ago I came in and RDCMan crashes to the desktop. Opens, doesn't show any servers, crashes back to the desktop.”source ↗
“What am I missing here? Is there something wrong with RDCMan? I would have thought a fresh install would have fixed any .NET errors. Is anyone else seeing this?”source ↗
“comenzo a fallar y ahora ni siquiera abre, solo se ejecuta en el administrador de tareas, alguien puede ayudarme a solucionarlo? Ya lo reinstale, y probe varias formas pero no funciona.”source ↗
