Overview
Users may encounter an issue related to the RDP feed failing to automatically update, forcing them to manually update their RemoteApps multiple times a day.
The solution to this is creating a GPO in the local domain.
Resolution
Follow the steps below to create a GPO in your domain, based on the operating system used.
