Description

Most appropriate sub-area of Processing 4?

I'm not sure

Processing version

4.5.6

Operating system

Windows 10 Pro 64 bits

Bug description

Processing fails to load when it is executed from Windows Remote Desktop (client also in W10 Pro 64 bits). Interestingly, this seems to only happen during loading; once opened in situ (that is, no remotely), it can be used remotely.

Error loading remotely;

Opened in the same computer in situ (no problem)

Back again remotely, Processing already open (no problem... aparently)

Steps to reproduce this
  1. Install Processing in W10 Pro 64 bits in a computer x

  2. Open a remote desktop to the computer x from other computer with W10 Pro 64 Bits

  3. Try open Processing, it will fail

Research direction

No source file, test, or startup entry point is identified in the report. First reproduce Processing 4.5.6 on Windows 10 through Remote Desktop and compare startup with a local launch; done means Processing opens remotely without the LoadLibrary error 87 while preserving the reported local and already-open remote behavior.
