    I really wished this helped. I do not have a MaxOutstandingConnections. I added DWORD at Terminal Server, but that did not work.

      Hi, Please you will have to create it “MaxOutstandingConnections”. After creation, please set the DWORD value to 10,000. A reboot of the remote machine is recommended afterward.
