I have an RPi 4 on which I installed xrdp to connect to it via MS Remote Desktop. But after login with the pi's username and the password, the grey login window disappeares and leaves me with the blue-greenish background.

Before login:

Login screen with blue-greenish background and grey login window with xrdp logo, saying "Just connecting"

After login:

Post-login screen. Just blue-greenish background, grey login window has disappeared.

There is no error message which might indicate what is wrong.

What can I do to fix this? Reinstalling xrdp didn't work. Still the same issue.

(If noone knows how to fix it: Is there an alternative to xrdp I can use, which works with MS remote desktop?)

Edit: I am using a Win 11 PC to connect and the RPi is running the latest x64 Raspbian "Bullseye"

Seems like you need a second user. Haven't tried myself yet

I suggest you reboot the server. Yes everyone hates destroying uptimes and jumping to the last resort too early. But during the issue I just troubleshooted I saw this screen too and I got a bit further after a reboot. My issue with the session being closed right after the connection attempt was related to someone else having auto login configured in GDM, which is not very safe and unnecessary too.
