trying the debug a OS-specific build problem and as i don’t have a windows computer available i tried to use the RDP connection to a build-VM on appveyor ([Accessing Windows build worker via Remote Desktop (RDP) | AppVeyor](https://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/rdp-to-build-worker/)). This worked once a few weeks ago and since then i don’t get a working connection.

Can anyone share some experiences with that?

i tested these days a little bit and got one successful connection - by just retrying a failed connection. Maybe it’s only a networking problem.
