Black screen when trying to open any windoiws apps. Windows itself runs without issue

[ChillySummerMist]

When trying to open explorer it just gets stuck on a black screen. But if i click on windows it logs in to the session. Any help? I am not very tech savvy and very new to linux. But I think i followed everything. I am using linux mint. ss attached.

SOLVED. Turns out the problem was FreeRDP version mismatch. I was using freerdp 3.5.1.But downgrading to 3.5.0 fixed it.

I downgraded the following packages. I am using linux mint so if you are same as me the following command will probably help you.

sudo apt install --allow-downgrades
freerdp3-x11=3.5.0+dfsg1-0ubuntu1
libfreerdp3-3=3.5.0+dfsg1-0ubuntu1
libfreerdp-client3-3=3.5.0+dfsg1-0ubuntu1
libwinpr3-3=3.5.0+dfsg1-0ubuntu1

Then locked the version to prevent auto-updates:

sudo apt-mark hold freerdp3-x11 libfreerdp3-3 libfreerdp-client3-3 libwinpr3-3

This worked for me too, although I had to modify the first install command a little:

sudo apt install --allow-downgrades \
  freerdp3-x11=3.5.0+dfsg1-0ubuntu1 \
  libfreerdp3-3=3.5.0+dfsg1-0ubuntu1 \
  libfreerdp-client3-3=3.5.0+dfsg1-0ubuntu1 \
  libwinpr3-3=3.5.0+dfsg1-0ubuntu1

Thanks!
