I'm currently streaming from my Azure Virtual Machine, but I've hit a snag. Whenever I close my Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connection, the application I'm using freezes up. I've attempted to set remote session timeout to never and even installed dummy virtual drivers, but so far, nothing has worked. Am I possibly going about this the wrong way?

You actually need to establish a console connection instead of using RDP. The issue arises because when you disconnect from RDP, the session locks and disrupts the application. That's what's causing the freeze!
Thanks for the tip! I read something similar before, but I think I mixed it up. You've clarified it for me.
Have you considered using software like Rustdesk to connect to session 0 interactively? It can help maintain your connection without locking up the session.
This does mess with streaming apps like Discord. Do you happen to know any workarounds? I haven’t had any luck with the dummy drivers on my VM.
