I installed fresh Win8.1 on a VM, enabled RDP access.
Problem that I'm facing is that when I close RDP client my session and all my windows and applications got closed immediately. I need session to stay on waiting for me with all my apps running.
I researched on this topic. found an article https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754272.aspx, tried what was suggested, but it didn't help.
I tried to connect from Win8.1 standard RDP client and from microsoft RDP client for iOS. Same behaviour. User account I use to log in is microsoft account xxx@live.com
P.S. Just in case it matters: VM is virtualbox, virtual box extensions pack is installed on guest 8.1 And I never use 'logoff', i always close RDP client with X. I do this on several other remote machines and it works flawlessly..

@austinian only 1 user connected. – None – 2015-07-15T22:17:53.247
i checked event logs and potentially found a cause, but don't know how to solve this. Each time i disconnect clicking X or writing tsdiscon in console there is a line in event log saying "The Desktop Window Manager has exited with code (0xd00002fe)". i suspect that might be the cause of session being logged off. – None – 2015-07-15T22:20:19.350
