Diagnoses Windows App (Remote Desktop / AVD / W365 / direct PC) connection problems on macOS: transport selection (UDP Shortpath vs WebSocket), VPN/proxy interference, and stuck "Configuring remote PC..." dialogs. Use when a VDI connection is slow/stuck, transport shows WebSocket not UDP, or Windows App freezes at a progress dialog. Not for general network diagnosis (use debugging-network-issues or tunnel-doctor).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# 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 root-cause falsification, so the methodology overlap is lighter. ## Background **Azure Virtual Desktop** transport priority: **UDP Shortpath > TCP > WebSocket**. UDP Shortpath provides the best experience (lowest latency, supports UDP Multicast). When it fails, the client falls back to WebSocket over TCP 443 through the gateway, adding significant latency overhead. **Direct PC connections** use plain RDP over TCP 3389 (usually TLS-wrapped). They have no Connection Info panel, no gateway reachability tests, and no transport optimization step. For direct PC, the dominant failure modes are: 1. The remote PC is off or unreachable (network/firewall). …

How to install
mdr add daymade/claude-code-skills/windows-remote-desktop-connection-doctor@sha256:54865024e4b46b6bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.943df48, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
