Sometime vcxsrv crashes and leaves the remote x2goagent in a bad state
which results in another crash of vcxsrv on reconnect. The only way to
fix that is to kill the remote session (the remote x2goagent process)
and start a new one. From your text it is unclear if you have tried
that.

What do you mean by that?

You can try to use mobaxterm to connect to your server and see if you
can run "x2goagent :1" there.  If that does not work, that's the
reason for the connection problems. If  it works, then we need to
search the problem elsewhere.
