Truncating logs helps clear any duplicate or excessive entries that might be causing issues.

Step 3: Attempt RDP Connection

After truncating the logs, attempt to log in to the Windows server by clicking on the RDP icon again.

By following these steps, you can effectively troubleshoot and resolve the "Connection has been closed" error in Ezeelogin's RDP via browser, ensuring smooth remote desktop connections without interruptions caused by protocol or logging issues.
