Can't maximize RDP sessions with internet explorer - APM

I see a few similar posts on here about this but no definitive answer. I have Microsoft Remote Desktop shortcuts on my APM and they connect fine and maximize, but if you exit full screen, then it locks the screen to a small size. You can't resize or even maximize again and the maximize button becomes greyed out. Pretty unusable after that point. I thought this might be a bug when I was running 11.4 but I have upgraded to 11.6 and have the same issue. Anybody had the same issues and know how to fix this?

 

 

Thanks

    what do you mean with it is happening with windows 2012 server only?

     

    this thread is about being unable to full screen via the maximize button, but you do something to leave full screen in general, or else you might be able to configure it to start with full screen or disable leaving full screen as suggested below by Seth Cooper.
