    after windows 10 pro upgrade - no "remote desktop users" group

    After Pro upgrade, I was unable to assign users to allow remote desktop. "Select Users ..." button is greyed out.

    There is no "Remote Desktop Users" group

    Tried manually adding the group with no success.

    Also tried group policy with no success.

    Any suggestions?

    Windows 10 Remote Desktop - The connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remote logon

    "open secpol.msc

    go to \Local Policies\User Rights Assignment

    double-click on Allow log on through Remote Desktop

    Services --> Add Users or Group --> enter Remote Desktop Users

    Start-->Run-->services.msc

    Look for Remote Desktop Services and make sure the Log on account is Network System, not Local Service.

    Check your event logs."

    This is probably to do with the default certificate not being accepted through your router, i.e your phone being on the internet and needing to connect to your pc behind a firewall.
