Remote Desktop Connection Stuck In Please Wait State

When opening a remote desktop session, there are times when its stuck in a "Please Wait" state.

The workaround for this is the following -

  1. Open Powershell in Administrator mode
  2. Run the following query -
  3. "query user /server:[server_name]"
  4. Take note of the sessionname
  5. Run the following query -
  6. "reset session [session_name] /server:[server_name]"

This should reset the session and allow logging into the server via remote desktop.
