Known issues with Amazon Web Services or WorkSpaces- Key combination Ctrl + Alt disconnects users from AWS session intermittently with old agent in AWS desktop. To fix this issue, update to latest agent by rebooting the desktop.
- Each user is assigned with one WorkSpaces desktop, and therefore logon with any username returns to the single desktop and then the session connects automatically. Disconnecting from the desktop returns user to logon screen.
