Here is the status and clearly there is something I am missing and I have no clue as to how to come up with a fix.

I would really appreciated if someone can help me stop Xorg from closing the connection when I try to connect from windows using remote desktop client.
thanks in advance

What seems to be the problem?

You did not post anything that you have done so far, nor anything about your machine or desktop environment.

Xrdp - ArchWiki

… no, I cannot help beyond what is in the Wiki

a few minutes later …:

What you are missing is on the third line - the service is not running, it is not started, it is still disabled, it is not enabled.

In future, please write after the Support template so that others can actually see your content. :wink:

Additionally, the Manjaro forum has certain presentational guidelines for code or command output. The links in the following paragraphs will lead to that information and more.

I have corrected your formatting this time. In future you are expected to do this yourself.
