NimbostratusWe currently have the same issue. I have two completely separate HA pairs and it happens the same on either if I try to use the Java client for RDP.
-Just a black screen if I have it set to Full Screen
-Any other screen size (percent or pixel defined) and it hangs on the F5 Initizing in the web browser window.
-I can reproduce this in Firefox on Windows 7 Windows 8.1 Ubuntu and OSX. As well as IE in Windows 7 and 8.1 Desktop Mode.
-I have tried using Java Versions 6, 7 and all the way up to 8 40 with same thing.
-If I add J2D_D3D=false to the clients run time environment it just hangs on the Java Spinning Loading Wheel

NimbostratusDon't use Java Client for Windows Machines and you should be ok.
I've now got a Client OS detection in the VP which will assign an RDP resource to Windows machines that do not use Java, besides you get further options for the non-Windows clients.
Just need to amend the Client OS to add the Windows 10 client string and I'm all good.
