Hi Hector,


My network configuration is different than yours - it is not bridged.
Perhaps this might help to diagnose the issue?


I'm now trying to sniff network traffic generated by the VM and see what
happens during RDP hangs: does it still poll outside servers (i.e. google
drive) or will become disconnected?


I'll report the results, stay tuned.
