I.e. If I just connect to Remote Desktop (win10 vs. win10, default configuration), and touch nothing - it will run and run and run untill completion.
But if I start lets say in Desktop mode, and edit it, and then connect to RDP and keep modifying plots, rotate the model in the model view, eventually it will crash. It may crash even when the simulation has already finished. The prerequisite is that EDT2021R1 was started in different to the current session mode; i.e. started as desktop, and crashed as RDP, and vice versa. And the project should be viewed and/or edited continuously; if not, nothing happens.
I see nothing alike when working only in one session mode. So when possible, I have to save(if it does not crash that moment), and restart EDT in order to not crash the active project.

My guess, is that it may be related to desktop composition which changes when connecting to RDP. I.e. dpi scaling may be switched by Windows etc. which may disrupt the 3D editor operation.
