Description Tobias cendio 2023-07-20 16:16:21 CEST 
No time data is displayed in the 'Created' column in the Windows native client session list. Observed in 4.14 and forward.
Comment 1 Tobias cendio 2023-07-20 16:18:23 CEST 
This bug doesn't appear on Linux nor macOS, as time data is properly displayed there.

To enable the multi session list, you need to allow multiple sessions per user:

 sudo tl-config /vsmserver/max_sessions_per_user=0
 sudo systemctl restart vsmserver

Configure the “Reconnect policy” in the client with “Always ask how multiple sessions should be handled”.

Then, when you are about to start your second session for the same user, you will be presented with the session list.
Comment 3 Pierre Ossman cendio 2025-04-25 16:04:18 CEST 
This was because we use %F for strftime(), which isn't supported on Windows.

The new gcc from bug 8361 complained loudly enough about this that it was spotted.
Comment 5 Adam Halim cendio 2025-04-28 16:36:17 CEST 
Tested client build 3921 on Windows 11. Can see that the column is now filled correctly, compared to in 4.18.0 where it is empty.
