windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor
This skill helps you troubleshoot connection problems with Windows App, Azure Virtual Desktop, and direct PC connections on macOS. It guides you through identifying whether your connection is using optimal UDP Shortpath or falling back to slower WebSocket transport, checks for VPN or proxy interference, and parses Windows App logs to uncover auth failures or protocol negotiation issues.
Windows Remote Desktop Connection Doctor diagnoses why your Azure Virtual Desktop or direct PC connection is slow or stuck on macOS.

What does windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor help diagnose?
windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor helps you troubleshoot connection problems with Windows App, Azure Virtual Desktop, and direct PC connections on macOS. It guides you through identifying whether your connection is using optimal UDP Shortpath or falling back to slower WebSocket transport, checks for VPN or proxy interference, and parses Windows App logs to uncover auth failures or protocol negotiation issues.
Why is my Azure Virtual Desktop slow and UDP Shortpath not working?
windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor can help you diagnose why Azure Virtual Desktop or direct PC connection is slow or stuck. Common causes include VPN or proxy blocking UDP Shortpath and forcing WebSocket fallback, which is slower. The skill helps you determine if your network configuration is preventing optimal transport negotiation and suggests remediation steps.
How do I fix Windows App frozen at 'Configuring remote PC'?
windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor resolves Windows App frozen at 'Configuring remote PC' by identifying underlying auth or server issues. The skill analyzes Windows App logs to detect transport negotiation failures, certificate validation errors, and connection timeouts that cause the progress dialog to hang.
Can windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor detect VPN/proxy blocking?
Yes. windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor determines if VPN or proxy is blocking UDP Shortpath and forcing WebSocket fallback. It helps you verify whether your network configuration allows direct UDP transport or if you're being forced to use slower WebSocket as a fallback protocol.
How does windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor analyze connection logs?
windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor analyzes Windows App logs to identify transport negotiation and connection failures. It parses protocol selection decisions, auth attempts, and server responses to distinguish client-side problems from server-side issues and pinpoint the root cause of your connection problem.
What transport protocols does windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor check?
windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor verifies RDP server health and checks both UDP Shortpath (optimal) and WebSocket (fallback) transport protocols. It helps you understand which protocol your connection is using, why it may have fallen back, and whether your RDP server is reachable and healthy.

Windows Remote Desktop Connection Doctor
Diagnose and fix Windows App (Microsoft Remote Desktop / AVD / WVD / W365 / direct PC) connection issues on macOS, with focus on transport protocol optimization and root-cause falsification.
> Methodology base: the general evidence-driven diagnosis discipline lives in the debugging-network-issues skill. This skill is the Windows-App / AVD transport domain layer — it leans toward connection-quality optimization more than
