Hi all,

currently we have an known issue regarding Win10 clients with installed "Anniversary Update / SP1) - after that the RemoteDesktop-Gateway functionality is broken.

Currently we have only a workaround by "replacing the latest mstsc components" - see the following thread http://forum.asg-rd.com/showthread.php?tid=10105

We already opened a "case" at Microsoft Support - we know that this happens when using 32bit application mode.
