Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You use a personal virtual desktop virtual machine in Windows 8.1.

  • You create a patch schedule for each personal virtual desktop virtual machine.

In this scenario, you may experience the following issues:

  • Issue 1Every time that the virtual machine restarts, high memory and CPU usage by the Remote Desktop Virtualization Host (RD Virtualization Host) role service occurs.

  • Issue 2The RD Connection Broker role service leaks memory when personal virtual desktop patching tasks are enumerated.

  • Issue 3The RD Virtualization Host role service enters a deadlock state and stops processing additional tasks.

Cause

This problem occurs because the patching of the personal virtual desktop for each virtual machine is cumulated incorrectly, and the shared Read/Write lock is used incorrectly.

Resolution

To resolve these issues, apply the following hotfix. This hotfix fixes the following specific issues:

  • Issue 1 The RD Virtualization Host tracking of the patch schedule when a virtual machine is restarted

  • Issue 2The RD Connection Broker role service memory management when patch schedules are enumerated

  • Issue 3 The RD Virtualization Host task processing synchronization
