Following is the summary of the troubleshooting and the steps taken to resolve the RDP issue.

Error: Generic error.

b. Locate the following subkey in the registry, and then click Parameters:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

c. Double-click the MaxUserPort value, type 50000 (decimal) in the Value data box,
and then click OK.

d. Locate the TcpTimedWaitDelay value under the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

e. Double-click the TcpTimedWaitDelay value, type 30 in the Value data box, and
then click OK.

f. Closed registry editor and opened command prompt

g. executed these commands

netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled
netsh int ip set global taskoffload=disabled
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
