The full story
A Windows security update in April 2026 changed how unsigned RDP files open, so every launch asks the user to re-tick options such as clipboard and printers and press connect before the password prompt. The maker wrote a small click bot that restores the old double-click-and-type routine without admin rights.
The first version was about 95% hand-written in Visual Basic, with Claude helping to hide brief command windows. Because the VB app needed dependencies or a 170MB file, Claude converted the whole program to C# for the second version. Colleagues have found it useful.
