Recently, users started encountering a new confirmation window when connecting to RemoteApp via Microsoft RDP. This window pops up every time with six options related to RemoteApp security, such as access to smartcards, clipboard, drives, PnP devices, and audio devices, alongside a checkbox that says "remember my choices for remote connections from this publisher." While checking the box does keep the previous selections intact, it doesn't stop the big warning from appearing each time the user connects. I'm looking for a way—perhaps a registry tweak or credential store setting—to ensure users aren't interrupted by this confirmation window every single time. It's been causing quite a bit of frustration, leading to increased support tickets from users who are finding this process tedious.

Yeah, the 'remember my choices' checkbox is a bit misleading. It saves your selections but still forces that connection window to pop up every time. There isn't a straightforward fix from Microsoft right now; they seem to have turned it into a security step rather than a simple preference. What I suggest is limiting the redirection options in your RDP setup to reduce the number of choices shown. You can also consider using group policy to disable some things like drives or clipboard, which makes the dialog simpler and less intimidating for users. Rolling back the Remote Desktop app is another temp workaround some people have used, though it's not ideal, and shouldn't be a permanent fix.
You can try adding this registry entry to resolve the issue:
HKLMSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindows NTTerminal ServicesClient
Create a DWORD value named RedirectionWarningDialogVersion and set it to 1. This may help in managing the popup prompts, though there may still be some limitations with the confirmation window.
Thanks for the tip!
