I was having similar issues with Remote Desktop for weeks on a MacMini Server. This article solved my problem, though your problem sounds a bit different than mine, but something may inspire you towards a solution here. Good luck! Aug 6, 2019 10:37 AM Reply Helpful Thread reply - more options

The solution turned out to be sudo pkill -u -2 ARDAgent which I found at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7759031 Apparently this has been an issue for YEARS and yet Apple hasn't fixed it… then again Remote Desktop hasn't had any attention since… well, it was probably the iPhone 3GS era.

Thanks for sharing this, that thread didn't come up in my search. Going to keep both in my back pocket. It seems a shame that Apple has all but abandoned their server market.

I have a user that has been using MS Remote Desktop on their Mac for months to connect to a remote PC. On Monday, the RDP client stopped opening. It sits in the taskbar / launcher and nothing happens if you click on it. Has anyone else experienced this and know how to make the RDP client load? We have re-installed and rebooted multiple times.

Hi, I Get the error code: "We couldn't connect to the remote PC. Make sure the PC is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled. Error code: 0x204" Problem is my Mac (OS 10.14) can't connect to PC at work (Win 10 Pro). The VPN establishes thou.I connect via VPN (SonicWall mobile connect)I also have a PC at home which connects just fine.If I share internet thru my phone/4G the Mac will connect, the problem is only when I'm on ethernet/wi-fi (but that's no problem for the PC).

Here is the link to the standalone installer if you want to try that instead of using the App Store: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=868963
If I recall, there is more than one Remote Desktop app on the store, maybe you got the wrong one.
I think they finally pulled version 8 from the App Store.
This sorted it. Thanks
