Windows 10: Can't connect with Remote Desktop

Hay everyone,

I am having an issue with Remote Desktop. It works fine locally but i can't get a connection remotely.


Here is the message it am getting.





Here are some of the settings on system i am trying to remote into.




Some things i have done are.

1. The firewall rule is enabled to allow remote desktop connections.

2. The ports have been forwarded through my router.

3. I used a port checker tool to make sure the port is open.


Any help would be great. Since i am using this computer as a server and not having access to it remotely has been anoying.

:)

 

Remote Desktop Connection problems


Have you tried Remote Desktop Connection, to connect from your Windows 10 laptop to your Windows 7 desktop? Try it first, post back and tell how it went.

Some additional help because you mentioned you are a remote newbie *Wink. The windows 7 related tutorials from our sister site the Seven Forums:

• On Windows 7 desktop, set network location to either Home or Work (I recommend Work):
  • Network Location - Set as Home, Work, or Public Network - Windows 7 Help Forums
• On Windows 7 desktop, allow incoming remote connections:
  • Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) - Network - Windows 7 Help Forums
• On Windows 7 desktop, find out its IP address:
  • IP Address - Locate and Find for Your Computer - Windows 7 Help Forums
• On Windows 10 laptop, start the Remote Desktop application and connect to the Windows 7 desktop using the IP address from step 3 above (see Part Three in the tutorial):
  • RDC - Connect Remotely to your Windows 10 PC - Windows 10 Forums
  • Notice that although the tutorial is written for Windows 10, it also applies to Windows 7

Try the above, post back how it went.

how do I delete a desktop off remote desktop connection?

Hi,

To disable Remote Desktop Connection, please follow the steps below:

• On the Start menu, search for SystemPropertiesRemote.exe
  and hit Enter to open the Remote tab of the
  System Properties options. Type in the password if prompted.
• Under Remote Desktop, you will see three options:
  • 
    Don’t allow remote connections to this computer
    
  • 
    Allow remote connections to this computer
    
  • 
    Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (recommended)
    
• Select the desired option, and click on Apply, and then
  OK to save the settings.

Let us know how it goes.
