    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

    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.

    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.

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