  1. Cannot remote desktop into Windows 11 with Microsoft account local account works


    I just installed two Windows 11 computers and setup remote desktop for both of them and it automatically allows my Microsoft account to have access it says.When I try to access the computer from Windows 10 or the other Windows 11 computer using the remote desktop application, I am prompted for my credentials. I enter my Microsoft credentials the same ones I use on the machine locally and it will not accept the credentials.I created a local account on the computer, and I can log into that account. Microsoft goes to great lengths to discourage the use of local accounts, so I have to assume t

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown Cannot remote desktop into Windows 11 with Microsoft account local account works :(

    remote desktop woe`s

    Since when is that? My local account does not exist on my server, I can log in fine. I could always log in at home from work, again different accounts and even different domains. It matters not, you can enter any credentials. It would be rather useless if it works like you suggested. I fact, no Windows authentication works that way, you can always enter other credentials.
