Microsoft KB Article

There is a hotfix for this issue, request and install the hotfix. I did this while the server was in production, not best practice but I had little choice as my customer would not tolerate a reboot at that time.

Restart Services

To enable the hotfix I restarted the Remote Desktop Services Service, often this is all the reboot does when it is requested.
