A security warning began appearing when users opened Remote Desktop (RDP) connections to Rightworks OneSpace Hosted Desktop, caused by recent Microsoft Windows updates that introduced additional security prompts as a safety measure. Users could still connect successfully by clicking through the warning and selecting required checkboxes, though this process was required at every login attempt. The incident was resolved after engineers found ways to minimize the impact of the security pop-up.
