Automatic reconnection allows an RDP client to automatically reconnect to the server without the need to re-authenticate. To enable the automatic reconnection if the RDP connection is dropped, please enable the checkbox in the RDP Client  as you see on the screenshot below

 Additonally you can enforce the reconnection as well on server-side:

  1. Open the Group Policy Management Console,

  2. In the console tree, select Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Service > Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections.

  3.  Enable "Automatic reconnection"
    If the status is set to "Enabled", automatic reconnection is attempted for all clients running Remote Desktop Connection whenever their network connection is lost.
