  1. NLA Error Appears After Server Restart


    Hello,We have three servers that I restart on a monthly basis to ensure they are running smoothly and to apply any updates that may require a reboot.Occasionally, after a restart, I encounter an error message when attempting to log in remotely. The error states: "NLA error – Network Level Authentication." The message: "The remote computer that you are trying to connect to requires Network Level Authentication NLA, but your Windows domain controller cannot be connected to perform NLA, if you are an administration on the remote computer you can disable NLA by using the options on the remote ta

    How to troubleshoot an error that appears only at Restart or Sign out?

    I get an error pop-up error message not every, but almost every time I Restart or Sign out. It's the screen with blue background and on top of Restart or Sign out text an error window says:

    Explorer.exe - Application error. The instruction at 0x000… referenced memory at 0x000... The memory could not be written.

    Sometimes the error code is just zeros, sometimes random numbers. I have tried so much already to troubleshoot this. For example these did not help in any way:
    • MemTest86+ (no problems)
    • Disabling any Services, Autoruns/ShellExView entries
    • Low resolution mode
    • BIOS settings are fine, no overclocking etc.
    • DISM.exe and sfc
    • etc.

    However, these do make the error go away:
    • End process for explorer.exe before Restart or Sign out
    • Safe Mode
    • Creating a new user profile (almost the same as clean installing Windows, many full days of work)
    • Uninstalling NVIDIA graphics driver (then the card is unusable, of course)
    • Disabling Device Manager / Display Adapters / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080

    I already contacted NVIDIA and the graphics driver is not the culprit. Something has gone wrong with the user profile as the same driver works just fine in a new profile (and there's nothing wrong with the driver anyway, it's just the Restart or Sign out process that has a problem).

    What can I do to fix this? One useful thing would be to have a step-by-step procedure for the Sign out. So that it'd ask before continuing to the next step and list what it's doing. Or if I could just disable whatever it does when the error appears.

  3. Can't RDP after enable NLA

    RDP connection works after disable NLA but we would like to do RDP from Source server to Destination Server by enable NLA.

    Source Server: Windows Server 2016

    Destination Server: Windows Server 2016

  4. NLA Error Appears After Server Restart

    RDP Connection to machine running Windows 7 Professional with NLA

    I have upgraded to Windows 10 Home from Windows 7 Home. I need to connect via RDP through a VPN to a computer running Windows 7 Professional with NLA enabled. I was able to successfully do this running Windows 7 Home, I can no longer make this connection
    under Windows 10. I am connecting to my work computer, I can successfully connect to the work computer that is running Windows 7 Professional if NLA is turned off on the Windows 7 Professional machine however IT security requires NLA to be enabled. Any
    suggestions?
