The Remote Desktop Services ActiveX controls allow you to access a networked computer, via the Internet, from another computer by using the Remote Web Access. Due to Edge browser and Chrome does not support add-ons. So there is no way to achieve your goal, which running RemoteApp in browser. Chrome Remote Desktop is fully cross-platform. Provide remote assistance to Windows, Mac and Linux users, or access your Windows (Windows 7 and above) and Mac (OS X Yosemite 10.10 and above) desktops at any time, all from the Chrome browser on virtually any device, including Chromebooks. Chrome Remote Desktop can be useful for signing into your own personal or work computer from afar, and it can be equally valuable for peeking in on someone else's system — be it your co-worker's.

Chrome works fine when I'm physically using my computer, but when I connect to it through RDP (Remote Desktop) it doesn't load pages. Both IE and Firefox work fine in all situations.

Is it a known bug bug in Chrome or what? I din't find any information in Google. Note that this has nothing to do with the 'Chrome Remote Desktop' extension.

Thanks in advance!

This is a guess, but maybe it has to do with GPU acceleration not working over RDP. Can you try adding the --disable-gpu flag after chrome.exe in the shortcut?

Or maybe turning off GPU related items in chrome://flags/?

Thanks for the correct answer, Louis, here are some more hints:

Starting Chrome with the --disable-gpu option works for me. To do so, create a shortcut with the following target:

Turning off the use of graphic acceleration in chrome://flags didn't work for me.

Also, make sure that you untick 'Let Google Chrome run in the background' in the taskbar. Otherwise the --disable-gpu option is useless.

Have a look at your proxy settings in the working IE browser and make sure that these match the same in the Chrome, I had this issue when using SSH.

I have a server and many low end laptops at home. I'm using a single user login (xxx@hotmail.com) to access the server from all laptops using Windows RDP (like the one in this case).

I'm using Windows 10 on the server and laptops vary from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I'm also using RDP Wrapper Library to access RDP in Windows 10.

Everything works fine except Chrome and Firefox browser. I cannot create multiple sessions of Chrome or Firefox though I use the same account at multiple places. Internet Explorer is the only browser that works fine with this multiple login RDP.

Any suggestions for fixes or modifications to be made?
