Method 1: Restart RDP Service Through Service Manager

Since the Remote Desktop is a Windows service, the quickest way to restart the service would be through the Service manager window. Follow the below instructions to restart RDP service through the Service manager:

Step 1: Press the Win + R keys together on your keyboard to open the Run command window.

Step 2: In the Run command search field, type services.msc and press OK to launch the Service manager window.

Step 3: In the Services window, go to the right side of the pane and look for Remote Desktop Services under the Names column.

Step 4: Alternatively, you can also simply select the Remote Desktop Services option and click on the green play button icon (Restart Service) located on the Service manager toolbar.

You have now successfully restarted the Remote Desktop Service.

How-To

How to restart RDP without rebootingwindows

May 16, 2013 10 Comments

WARNING: Test this process before you try it on an production system, to make sure you like the results and have the process down.

Problem:

RDP has stopped working but your server still work just users can’t connect to modify applications

The most common fix is to reboot windows, because “Remote Desktop Services” aka TermService can’t be restarted at least thats the case on 2003 as the option is grayed out. This will also create an outage just for a remote control issue and thats not always desirable.

The fix: (remotely)

from command line

  1. tasklist /s \\servername /svc /fi “imagename eq svchost.exe” (locate PID for TermService)
  2. taskkill /s \\servername /pid xxxx (may need /f to force, UAC might give problems as well)
  3. sc \\servername start TermService

The Fix: (local, using remote admin card/other remote control software/other remote command line)

From command line

  1. tasklist /svc /fi “imagename eq svchost.exe” (locate PID for TermService)
  2. taskkill /pid xxxx (may need /f to force, UAC might give problems as well)
  3. sc \\servername start TermService
