When I connect with a Windows remote desktop to the server, the server isnt avaibale anymore via Moonlight afterwards, even after quitting the remote connection, and you have to reboot the server PC.

After the connection of the Windows 10 remote client, this is shown in the Nvidia panel:

This issue is documented on the wiki - https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Troubleshooting#known-application-compatibility-issues

RDP creates a special virtual GPU and display device which doesn't support Nvidia GameStream since it's not a real GPU nor does it have any capture or encoding hardware. Any other remote desktop solution besides RDP works fine (Chrome Remote Desktop, TeamViewer, LogMeIn, etc)
