I have searched on and off for a month for this issue and not finding anyone else with this issue or determine a course of action to fix the issue.
I am having an issue with only AutoCAD 2024 which if I open the program while working from home using remote desktop it completely locks up the remote computer.
When remote, I open AutoCAD 2024 I get to the welcome screen all looks ok. Then I try and open a drawing either going to open or clicking on a drawing in the recent area. The remote computer completely locks up immediately and the only option is to call the office to have someone to physically go to the desktop computer hold the power button in to shut it down and restart the computer. There is no response from the desktop computer on either side.
We upgraded to 2024 a month ago. I work from home one day a week right now. I still have 2018 installed on the computer and if I use that while on remote desktop there is no issue for the whole day. So, it is specifically AutoCAD 2024. all other software on the computer does not lock up the computer.
No one else in my office has this issue but I am the only one using an Apple MacBook Air (specifically 15" 2023 MacBook air running Sonoma 14.4.1) to login to the office computer. I am using a Cisco VPN and the Microsoft Remote desktop app downloaded from the Mac app store and up to date with all updates. So it is hard to determine which part of the path the issue is coming from. AutoCAD 2024 also has all updates applied.
Has anyone had this issue or know what I can do to determine where in the chain this complete lockup of the remote computer is coming from?
