Windows 8.1 desktop refresh required after closing mstsc

In Windows 8.1 Pro with Update (64-bit), in desktop mode, after closing the mstsc app (click X in title bar) during an mstsc session to a Window 7 Ent SP1 workstation, the contents of the mstsc window remain displayed and a desktop refresh (right-click->refresh
on the desktop) is required to refresh the desktop to clear the stale content from the display. This does not happen when using mstsc to connect to a legacy Win XP Pro workstation.
Video adapter is an integrated Intel P4600/P4700 with latest drivers provided my Microsoft Update (v10.18.10.3621) in multi-monitor (3 monitors) mode. The mstsc is only active on one monitor.
Anyone else seen this issue?

Monitor refresh rate (all 3 of them is set to 60hz). Only options on the primary display are 59 or 60Hz.
Setting the refresh rate to 59Hz produces same results. Setting back to 60Hz produces same results.
Sometimes part of the desktop on the monitor with the mstsc window needs to be refreshed, sometimes all of it under the mstsc windows needs to be refreshed, and sometimes, but rarely, the desktop never needs to be refreshed after closing mstsc to this specific
target.
The mstsc session is not a full screen session and is opened as per:
C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe "<path to rdp file>.rdp" /w:2560 /h:1530
on a 30" display set for 2560x1600, 32bpp, 60Hz
To clarify, the specific issue manifests when I disconnect the session -- ie. clicking the X in the title bar, then clicking OK in the dialog "Your remote session will be disconnected". The "Your remote session will be disconnected" dialog
disappears (sometimes), and the mstsc windows title bar disappears but some or all of everything else that was inside the mstsc windows (from the remote system) remains displayed (even the mstsc bottom window border) until the desktop is refreshed.
I do note that if I set the mstsc session to full screen and then close/disconnect the session while it is in full screen, that the refresh required after disconnect issue does not manifest.
I am not sure if this is a functional issue in the mstsc client in Windows 8.1 (file version 6.3.9600.16384) or is more generally display/explorer specific. If the issue is broader, I am only noticing it with mstsc.
I've also updated to the latest Intel HD Graphics driver (rel: 2014-08-29) and no difference.

  • Windows 8 Laptop will not recover after closing the lid

    I have a Compaq C60-420US.
    The OS was Win7 on an OEM install which worked fine.  I could close the lid of the laptop and when opened, the OS would resume normal operation.
    I upgraded the OS to Win8.
    Since the upgrade, when I close the PC top and then open it, I cannot get the computer to respond.  The drive shows activity, the DVD sounds like it goes active for a moment but the screen remains black.  If I press the on/off button it begins
    flashing and when pressed again it does the same type of activity as when I open the laptop cover.  I have made sure that the BIOS is up to date.  I have tried disabling the CPU sleep mode in BIOS, no change.  I have tried disabling hibernate
    in power options, no change.  I tried reverting to the Win7 video drivers from the HP website, no change.  I don't know what else to try.
    I have researched this problem on google search and have come up empty other than the things that I have already tried.

    There are currently no drivers up on the HP website for this monitor using Win8.  
    So, try installing Win-7 drivers in compatibility mode.   If switchable graphics are involved see this tip
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video-e-g-Windows-8/I-upgraded-to-Windows-8-How-do-I-get-switchable-graphics-to/m-p/2213275
    Also, I think it would be interesting to see if you could boot in VGA mode, e.g. as a workaround if you didn't have the second monitor to use.   A procedure that I have been suggesting on that tack involves this loop, assuming the lock screen is
    being shown on the black screen...

    <quote>
    <loop>
    Shift-Tab, Shift-Enter, wait.   If the drive light start flashing, wait even longer for it to settle down. 
    </loop>
    </quote>
    Now I'm wondering if the problem could be related to the resolution required to show your lock screen?  Is there anything special about it in that regard?   If so, maybe the target of my workaround should be the Space Needle?  
    (E.g. the lock screen for unknown account.)...
    Oh, no.   I have made a change which invalidates my procedure and I can't figure out how to undo it.   I have done something which requires me to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete before I can use the Lock Screen.  Also, in that case I'm finding
    that Shift-Enter may not be appropriate any more but only a Space would be allowed (e.g. for my Plan-B, opening the Accessibility menu in order to hear Narrator's comforting words and then activate Narrator to guide the user through the darkness.)  
    Why is this being designed to be so unusable?
    Good luck

  • Login Window: Screen does not refresh correctly after waking 10.7.2 iMac and MacBook.

    I have a client who brought to my attention that when we wakes his iMac and MacBook after the screen dims or sleeps at login screen, that sometimes the screen does not refresh correctly and you must use the cursor to basically "clear the screen."  I have witnessed this myself and elimiated all third party products and this still happens.  I am starting to believe that is is a bug in 10.7.2.  Has anyone witnessed this or have any suggestions on how to remedy?  Thank you.

    Thanks lynque.  It turns out I did need a keychain repair, but that didn't fix the problem.  I probably should have done this earlier, but I ended up unplugging all peripherals (2 firewire + 3 USB) then powered up without issue.
    So I shut down, plugged in one at a time, and ran into the problem again after plugging in an external hard drive (WD My Book Essential).  I repaired with disk utility, but the problem remained.
    I then rebuilt the partitions with Disk Warrior, and now everything seems to work....

  • Howto refresh table after closing a popup

    Using JDev 11.1.1.3
    I have a table and a popup. The table is populated by records from a datacontrol.
    The popup has a form showing details of the selected record in the table. I also use that popup to create new records.
    I have problems when pressing the "OK" button on the dialog. The record is saved to the database, a commit has been executed but my table does not show the new record. I need to press F5 before i see the record.
    I have tried setting a partialTrigger to the table from the popup but that does not work.
    This is the dialogEvent code:
        public void enqueteListener(oracle.adf.view.rich.event.DialogEvent dialogEvent) {
           if(dialogEvent.getOutcome() != DialogEvent.Outcome.no) {
             BindingContainer bindings =  BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
             OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("Commit");
             operationBinding.execute();
             operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("Execute");
             operationBinding.execute();
           else {
             BindingContainer bindings =  BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
             OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("Rollback");
             operationBinding.execute();
        }As you see the commit gets executed and after that i execute the Execute to refresh the table but it does not seem to work...
    How can i achieve that i do not longer need to press F5 so the record show up directly in the table after the OK button is clicked in the popup?

    Hi,
    you may add this helper method to your basking bean (or base backing bean)
    public void refreshUIComponent(UIComponent x) {
            AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(x);
    }When using the addPartialTarget on your adf table component, it will refresh the table entirely.
    With the "fetching data....." message etc... (It is a bit heavy)
    What would be nice, is to refresh only the current row and not the whole table.
    How ?
    protected void refreshTableCurrentRow(RichTable xTable) {
            //Refresh Table UI Current Row
            Set<Object> selectedKeys = xTable.getSelectedRowKeys();
            assert selectedKeys.size() == 1;
            Object old = xTable.getRowKey();
            try {
                xTable.setRowKey(selectedKeys.iterator().next());
                List<UIComponent> colList = xTable.getChildren();
                Iterator iter = colList.iterator();
                while (iter.hasNext()) {
                    UIComponent col = (UIComponent)iter.next();
                    Iterator iterCol = col.getChildren().iterator();
                    while (iterCol.hasNext()) {
                        refreshUIComponent((UIComponent)iterCol.next());
            } finally {
                xTable.setRowKey(old);
        }And call it just after executing the "Execute" operation
    operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("Execute");
    operationBinding.execute();
    refreshTableCurrentRow(getTable());
    Regards

  • Refresh the table after closing the Popup iView

    Hi all,
    I have list of survey in my table. In that table i have toolbar button(DELETE) for deleting the survey. While deleting the survey it asks the confirmation. If we click Ok it delete the selected survey and close the popup also. what I want is I should refresh the table after closing the Popup.How can i achieve this?
    Help me in this regard.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Hemalatha J

    Hi Hema,
    Check this link.
    Visual Composer - You can do anything....
    In this blog, they are used 'Refresh' Button and a Hidden 'Plain text' message to solve this problem. If you are satisfy with this you can take this solution.
    Or you can try to trigger the 'Submit' action of 'Input form' once again from the 'Popup window' when the 'Delete' button is clicked.
    Hope it helps...

  • Image remains after closing window.

    Hi!
    I just purchased my first LCD display (23" Apple) and I immediately noticed an anomaly. When I have a window open, such as mail, after closing, the image of the window remains faintly on the desk top. I can even read the title of the last email etc. The image slowly fades away and disappears but it's somewhat unnerving. An image even remained from the previous user after I switched.
    Is this common? Just a "thing" that LCDs do? After all the hype about xboxes burning in on plasma TVs, I'm a little paranoid.
    Thanks to all for your advice and council !
    Jeff

    Hey Jeff -
    I had a problem with my 23 ghosting a good while back, but I changed the desktop and I haven't noticed it since, I have read of others mentioning the problem, try searching this folder for "ghost".
    This document has some information but from reading posts in the past I suspect the ghosting is partially a hardware issue and some monitors of the same model have it worse than others.

  • Window Memory usage even after closing windows

    I've included links to a test app that does nothing but
    launch a window, play a sound, close window / repeat.
    When application launches it uses about 20mb of memory. When
    you click on the only button, it will launch a secondary window
    that will simply play a wav file. (I set the volume low but you may
    want to mute it :D)
    After launching and closing the window several times the
    memory usage goes up considerably and *never* falls back a
    significant %. (I got it to about 100MB before I decided to quit
    trying to increase the memory usage. Right now it's been running
    w/o any user interaction since opening about 10 windows and it's
    fairly stable at around 61MB (although that appears to be
    increasing w/o user interaction).
    Does anyone know of any methods I can use to ensure that the
    memory consumed by secondary windows does not just persist forever
    even after closing the window? Is there something I'm doing wrong
    here?
    Example Code:
    http://www.vf-server.com/air/memorytest.air
    (AIR)
    http://www.vf-server.com/air/memorytest.zip
    (source ZIP)
    Note: When I *minimize* the window it looks like garbage
    collection is forced and app drops back to 11MB (on restore back to
    19mb).
    Edit: note in your task manager, application appears as
    JBTest.exe

    You can call System.gc() to force the garbage collector to
    run.
    Try removing the event listeners when they aren't needed
    anymore. I think it is more difficult for the gc to cleanup objects
    when there are host objects (like Sound) refering to JavaScript
    objects and JavaScript objects refering to host objects, so you
    need to be especially careful about those. It SHOULD clean them up
    eventually, but it may take longer for it to figure out that those
    objects are no longer in use.
    You might also clear the secondaryWindow reference in the
    parent document when the window closes. That reference might retard
    garbage collection, too.

  • Windows xp will not boot up after installation of desktop software 4.3.

    windows xp will not boot up after installation of desktop software 4.3.  Where do I start to get my p.c. going again ???

    I get the message that a recent hardware or software change might have caused this.
    The computer does not boot up in safe mode or last known good configuration.
    I'm glad you think the software has nothing to do with it, but perhaps you can also explain why this problem started as soon as I downloaded the desktop software and tried to restart the computer.

  • Firefox exe continues to run after closing all windows, and consumes massive amounts of cpu

    after closing all firefox windows and trying to reopen i get the "firefox is still running but unresponsive" message, and have to go into task manager, processes and end the firefox exe, which is consuming between 96 and 100 cpu.

    Norton IPS is apparently a known issue being mentioned in the KB articles:
    *[[firefox will not start]]
    * [[firefox crashes when you open it]]
    * I also found an earlier post on the Norton site http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-IPS-1-0-Addon-for-FireFox/m-p/25425#M8494 but I am not sure this is still considered a problem.
    What exactly is this IPS extension. I am currently using XPs with Norton's NIS (version 18.6 - it is a paid for subscription). I do have Intrusion Prevention active in NIS but I see no specific extension or program IPS. Is this some optional additional software?
    I did find an explanation but from 2009
    * http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Protection-Blog/Intrusion-Prevention-System-IPS-Your-first-line-of-defense/ba-p/124400
    I am NOT using the Norton Toolbar etc. is it these components that are causing the problem i.e safe search etc.
    I am not having problems with firefox hanging or continuing, despite using NIS.
    There is a bug on this https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=548945 but that does not seem to have got very far in confirming or resolving the issue. I imagine Norton have a very large userbase and it seems unlikely that the basic NIS is itself incompatible with Firefox.

  • Show javascript window after closing

    Hi,
    how to show the "javascript window" with my custom buttons again after it has been closed? I have a submenu with menu item (supposed "Show Buttons"), which calls a function for generating of buttons. After this window has been closed, the customer would select again "Show Buttons" in order to see it again. It is not possible, as the buttons are actually initialized and cannot not be initialized again with the same name. How can solve this issue?
    regards,
    Alex

    There's nothing wrong with creating a document-only toolbar, you just have to add some error processing code if you ever need to display the toolbar after the user closes it. For example:
    try {
        // app.addToolButton code goes here
    } catch (e) {
       // app.removeToolButton code goes here
       // app.addToolButton code goes here
    It's easiest if you make the code that adds and removes the tool buttons into a function.
