Issue with Kodi 17.4 and Windows 10 x64 Pro 1703 (HTPC) when using the patched termsrv.dll from here - https://www.mysysadmintips.com/windows/c...windows-10 - to re-enable concurrent logins.
When I log in to the HTPC with another account, so that I can move some files around or whatever, using remote desktop, Kodi immediately freezes. The secondary account works fine, and the OS remains stable on both accounts. The user at the HTPC can force close Kodi without crashing Windows. Weirdly, though, if I connect to the remote machine with Tight VNC, Kodi then unfreezes, and I can go on to manipulate files or use virtual machines or whatever on the secondary login, and Kodi will go on operating normally unless I log out, then log back in again, at which point it will freeze again.
This really isn't a huge problem, and I understand if this is just not in the scope of what should be supported, since I am modifying Windows system files, but I thought this information might be useful. I can't be the only HTPC owner that is using a modified termsrv.dll to re-enable concurrent logins with Windows 10.
