We are running a Windows 2008 R2 server in a terminal server environment. Every time a user logs in and out of the server we get the following notifications:
EventID 9003
The Desktop Window Manager was unable to start because a composited theme is not in use
EventID 9009
The Desktop Window Manager has exited with code (0x40010004)
We do have a GPO policy that is: "Force a specific visual style file or force Windows Classic" which is set to Enabled.
I have not found a way to resolve either of these notices. Any suggestions?
This could be because of "Client Compatibility Settings". I had faced the same issue 10 mins ago after licensing my terminal server and this is how I fixed it.
Done! next time users should get successful login.
