RD Web Access: page fails to render when XSLT is disabled in Chromium browsers

Summary

RD Web Access in Windows Server relies on XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), which is being disabled in Chromium-based browsers such as Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. Once it is disabled, the RD Web Access page fails to render and users cannot reach it. Microsoft documents workarounds and asks admins to adopt one before the browser change reaches their users.

Symptoms

The RD Web Access page does not render in Chromium-based browsers once XSLT is disabled, so users cannot access the experience.

Affected

• RD Web Access as included with Windows Server
• Chromium-based browsers (Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome) in which XSLT is disabled

Workaround

1. Open the Microsoft article "RD Web Access fails to load when XSLT is disabled in Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome" (KB 5130994).
2. Review the documented workarounds and adopt one of them before the browser change affects your users.

Fix

Not fixed yet. Microsoft only documents workarounds in KB 5130994.

Recommendation

If you publish RemoteApp or desktops through RD Web Access, read KB 5130994 now, choose one of the documented workarounds and test it with Edge and Chrome before the browser change reaches your users. Tell your users which access path to use if needed.
