Based on discussions of the issue Add support for termsrv 10.0.17134.1 #456 I decided to consolidate all the procedures in this new issue as shown below...

Thanks! =D

Replacing termsrv.dll with an older version should only be used as a last-resort. Usually patches are already available ahead of the version your system is running. The issue you are referencing to is from 2018.

@Mordo95 "Usually patches are already available ahead of the version of your system is running." -> I tried using RDPWrap version 1.6.2 (latest in 2019/09/21) and didn't work. I had to use the procedure I described above.
Thanks! =D

Or you could take a second to browse the issue board and find patches like asmtron posted here: https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/issues/860 (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/asmtron/rdpwrap/master/res/rdpwrap.ini) to update it to the offsets you need. The rdpwrap.ini here isn't really maintained anymore, so the people will do it. Replacing a system component that has gotten a security patch is one of the worst possible advices to give, especially making it go back to a version from 2018.

How to update rdpwrap.ini to the latest offset:

1. Download the ini file given above or follow the autoupdater
2. put it in C:\Program Files\RDPWrap\
3. Run RdpWinst.exe -r
4. Profit!

If your version is still unlisted, make a new issue and upload your termsrv.dll in a zip file so we can get the new offsets for other people too.
