RDP freezes after some hours?

[Chernarus]

I've run into a issue with RDP freezing, then Windows says its disconnected so it reconnects once I interact with it again. I need to have RDP constantly open so I can turn my head to my secondary screen to monitor my game servers and use AHK.

I've set my end session limit to Never, yet this does not seem to actually be "never".

Windows wouldn't disconnect you, but your router may time out the connection, as it's very common for home routers to have low timeouts in their connection-tracking tables. I recommend looking at your router configuration and seeing if there are limits that you can bump up, or exceptions that can be made.

I can't find any settings to do with that you described on my routers control panel..
This only happens when I'm inactive.

You might not be able to address this very easily, then, without bypassing the router :\. Some applications have a keepalive option to periodically send data and keep the connection open to compensate for this type of issue, but I don't believe that the Microsoft RDP client does.

I think I found a possible solution, I wrote a autohotkey script to click somewhere on the screen every hour.
