Remote Desktop Connection Stopped working on my Windows 8 professional Please help me out.

Question
-
I was connecting to my window server 2012 successfully from a Windows 7 PC. After I upgraded to windows 8 I can no longer connect.
I have been getting "Remote Desktop Connection Stopped working" error.
I have seen the same problem described in a post here and Mr Ziegler (@Andre.Ziegler) answered it.
Following all the recommendations I removed all my printers they and restarted the machine but all effort to no avail.
I have my dump file here
http://sdrv.ms/116lsAL
Can Mr Ziegler (@Andre.Ziegler) or other people help me?
Thanks in anticipation.

Try to disable Bitdefender or add mstsc.exe to the exception list of Bitdefender.

The dump only shows AppVerifier related code.
Run regedit.exe, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options and delete the key mstsc.exe
Reboot and wait for a new crash. Upload this new dump.

I can't see anything useful.
You get a NX Bit issue:

The only thing I see is that you still use the RTM version of the mstscax.dll which is part of Remote Desktop. The latest version is 6.2.9200.16547 which is part of the Windows 8 cumulative update: April 2013
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2822241
Install this update and test it again.
If you still get crashes, try this. I can also see that this DLL is loaded:
Loaded symbol image file: MSOXMLMF.DLL Image path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE14\MSOXMLMF.DLL Image name: MSOXMLMF.DLL Timestamp: Sun Jan 10 09:30:02 2010 (4B49900A) CheckSum: 0000FF8C ImageSize: 00011000 File version: 14.0.4730.1010 Product version: 14.0.4730.0 File flags: 0 (Mask 3F) File OS: 40004 NT Win32 File type: 2.0 Dll File date: 00000000.00000000
unregister the dll with regsvr32.exe /u and see if this helps."A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code"

Its been quite a while
Mr Andre.Ziegler I tried the method above it didnt work for me.
Also I was unable to unregister MSOXMLMF.DLL I got the following error: the module "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE14\MSOXMLMF.DLL" was loaded but call to DllUnregisterServer failed with error code0x8000ffff
URL to my new dump is http://sdrv.ms/1839hLP.

the dump doesn't show anything new. YOu still get a NX issue. You can try to exclude the mstsc.exe from DEP (Data Execution Prevention):

Maybe this helps.

I tried excluding mstsc.exe from DEP but I got the following error "Data Execution prevention is not allowed for X64 files"Saturday, April 27, 2013 6:15 PM

try it for the 32Bit version of mstsc.exe ("C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mstsc.exe") and use this 32Bit version.
