when logging server through remote desktop, hang after supplying credentials , hitting "ok". grey screen. 
the way remote session reboot server. after logging in remotely first time after rebooting, if log out, experience same problem again until reboot.

there no obvious system logs/app logs related this.
there no error messages period. i've tried deleting rdp listener, , re-creating.
