Remote Desktop Disconnection Issue

"Does the same thing happen if you log in locally on the computer and then
lock it (instead of remote destop and then disconnect)?"
No. The programs continue to run as advertised.

If I am logged in locally, it will lock after a set number of minutes of
inactivity, but the programs continue to run, as opposed to terminating the
programs. I can then logon and resume my session, no glitches.

I found out there are Group Policy Overrides (GPOs) that may be causing my
problem. I have to get a top-level admin to review these to see if the 'Set
time limit for disconnected sessions' is enabled. If so, we need to disable
the GPO.

I'll let you know...
