Solution:
You can change the Registry keys on your computer (from which you connect to a remote virtual machine using mstsc.exe) to run tests on a remote computer while the Remote Desktop window is minimized.
Follow the steps below:
- Close all opened Remote Desktop sessions.
- Open Registry Editor (Click Start, type regedit and hit Enter key).
- Navigate to one of the following Registry keys, depending on whether you wish to modify the Remote Desktop settings only for the current user or for all users on the computer:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client
- Create a DWORD value named RemoteDesktop_SuppressWhenMinimized and set it to 2.
- Close the Registry Editor.
Now when you minimize the Remote Desktop Connection window on your computer, this will not affect the remote computer’s GUI and the GUI will be available to your automated tests.
