    RDC to Windows 10 doesn't save password


    I recently updated my sandbox VM from Windows 7 to Windows 10 with the updating tool that pops up next to your clock, but since doing this when I connect to the VM through RDC my RDC client (MSTSC) no longer stores my credentials, even though I keep the box ticked, and I have to enter my password each time. It didn't do this before when I was on Windows 7.

    Tried Googling to no avail. Hoping someone can help! Many thanks

    :)

    Windows 10 - Remote Desktop Connection

    Concerning Windows 10, not Pro but the Home version, as Ahollister stated differently, users can search their root directory for "mstsc" in windows explorer.

    After windows explorer finds all files with "mstsc" within the file name, sort the list and find the one that belongs here:

    C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe

    In the windows explorer window, right click on it, then choose to add to the desktop as a shortcut. Afterwards, click on it and discover that it's the same as Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) in Windows 7 Home.

    Provide the usual information in the Computer field, located on the RDC dialogue box (i.e. pop up), such as 11.11.34.20, or whatever local address that gains access to the remote computer attempting to be accessed on an office network remotely.

    Follow through in the same RDC dialogue box and add a user name and password in the User Name and Password fields then check the box to Save Credentials.

    Disconnecting a Windows 10 Remote Desktop Session???

    How to properly disconnect a Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) in Windows 10? While working out of my home using my recently Windows 10 upgraded laptop, I use a RDC to access my office desktop PC, which is also running the upgraded version of Windows 10.
    My problem is that when I close/end the RDC, by simply closing the connection, for some reason it does not disconnect from my office PC, so when I try to RDC again, I get an error message saying that the RDC is already in use or busy. I'm in the only one
    who can access my office PC via RDC. When I was using Windows 8.1, I followed the same procedures to end the RDC and I was able to log back in without any issues. With Windows 10, the connection does not end. Is there a way to ensure that when I end the
    RDC, that it actually disconnects from the remote PC? Thank you!
