windows remote desktop not rendering - windows

I run a windows-app on a remote desktop. It actually has an IE browser inside and I call the Screenshots api sometimes.
When a session is connected to the remote desktop, screenshots are successful and a picture is captured about what is really in the browser. But when no session is connected, a picture with black color is captured. I guess rendering is stopped at this time.
Is there any way to let it render even though no session is connected?

Workround: use tscon to move disconnected RDP session to local console. This enables rendering again.

When an app is displayed via a Citrix client on Windows, is the user seeing an image or a real app?

When a user interacts with an app that is delivered via a Citrix - what does the user see? Is it a full app with real Windows, or just an image like in RDP?
Thanks!
It's rendered similar to RDP but over the HDX (formerly ICA) protocol (vs the RDP protocol). Communication occurs on port 2598 by default (if using the Session Reliability feature) or 1494 (if that feature is disabled). The user is seeing a real app, but that app is running server side.

Working with UWP MapControl and offline GeoServer tiles

I'm working with UWP MapControl and local networked GeoServer as my tile server.
When I'm connected to the internet everything works fine and the map shows my tiles.
When disconnecting the client from the internet the tiles are not visible.
Working with fiddler shows that applications sends request to ecn.dev.virtualearth.net.
When online, answer recieved and then sends requests to local GeoServer.
When not connected to web, no answer received and no request are then sent to GeoServer.
Is there a way to work disconnected from the internet? having an offline license?
Thanks

I would suggest using a CustomMapTileDataSource for your use case. You can control making the request for the tile directly from your code (to a local or remote endpoint) and supply the tile to the map control. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Maps.CustomMapTileDataSource

Multiple simultaneous sessions of R studio in Linux Environment

I am running RStudio Server and it runs great. However, if two Sessions We try to log in at the same time it disconnects the previous Session and says "
R Session Disconnected
This browser was disconnected from the R session because another browser connected (only one browser at a time may be connected to an RStudio session). You may reconnect using the button below."
Is there any way for two (or more) Sessions with the same user to be running this at the same time? Thanks
Note: I am facing this problem in the Linux Environments only

SendInput or similar from windows service (session 0) in Windows 8 to login screen

As I understand, when we start windows it starts Session 0 which does not connect to any GUI, etc. and runs all windows services. So my task is, after windows was started, emulate windows input for selecting user and login to is session. I know that for sending input from service I should run desktop app and through it send input, show GUI, so on, but how can I do it before any user session was start? (for example I see that TeamViewer can do it)
WTSGetActiveConsoleSessionId() will tell you which session is attached to the physical console.
You can then duplicate your security token with DuplicateTokenEx(), change the new token's session with SetTokenInformation() and the TokenSessionId option, and launch a process with CreateProcessAsUser().
The new process should then be running in the right session, but it may also need to attach itself to the right desktop before it can interact with the logon interface. You can use EnumDesktops() to list the available desktops, and trial and error to determine which one the logon interface runs in. (Note that this may be different in different versions of Windows.)

Screenshot software not taking screenshots while not connected (RDP)

I've a little Windows Server (Windows Web Server 2008) on which I need to monitor the desktop. I've placed a little application on it which takes screenshots now and then and uploads them to a FTP - but as soon as I disconnect (not logout) via RDP the Screenshot is not refreshed (but uploaded). Is there any setting I have to change so the RDP session will keep taking up to date screens?
I think that when you`ve disconnected users session automatically logsout. So may be you should run app on the under loged in user account. And also may be screen "freezes" and do not updating, so when you capturing it there is the same screen as before
