Remote Desktop won't accept login credentials

Hi Robert,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.

• Are you using a Microsoft account to login?
  
• Was the user name changed at any point of time?
  

Meanwhile, you may try the steps listed below and check if it works:

• Open Command prompt as an administrator on your local machine and type:
  gpedit.msc
  
• Navigate to the following location:
  
  Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Credentials Delegation
  
• Click on ‘Allow Delegating Saved Credentials with NTLM-only Server Authentication’
  
• Enable the policy and click on ‘Show’ button in the options window below and enter the value
  ‘TERMSRV/*’ (without quotes) into the list. Apply the changes.
  
• Do the same thing for the following policies:
  
  Allow Delegating Saved Credentials
  
  Allow Delegating Default Credentials with NTLM-only Server Authentication
  
  Allow Delegating Default Credentials
  
• Make sure that ‘Deny Delegating Saved Credentials’ is not enabled or does not contain ‘TERMSRV/*’ in the list
  
• Close all windows, open a command prompt, and use
  ‘gpupdate /force’ command to apply the policy directly.
  

Once the update is complete, reboot the machine and see if you can remote login.

After upgrading to Windows 10 Pro, Remote Desktop is not working

Hi,

I upgraded to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 7 Pro, using the tool in the Microsoft website. However, after the upgrade I am unable to use the Remote Desktop app in Windows 10. Everytime, I try to Remote Desktop
to a server 2003 in the same network, it throws the "Enter your Credentials" dialog box, however, there is no place to enter the credentials or hit the OK button to continue. The server is on the same network and is accessible to other OS in the network and
the problem just lies with Windows 10 since one of my colleagues also tried with the same result. Please advise.

I have tried the following:

• Allowed the Remote Desktop app in the Firewall to Public, Private and Domain.
• Edited the Group Policy by using

gpedit.msc ->Administrative Templates -> System -> Credentials Delegation -> Allow delegating saved credentials with NTLM-only server authentication -> Enabled + Show -> TERMSRV\<computer name>

• Prior to this, I had also saved credentials in the Credential Manager for the particular server I am trying to connect.
