  1. Remote Desktop and Windows 11 Profile


    Why does Remote Desktop Connection with Windows 11 connect to my remote computer but NOT use the profile from the remote computer. It uses a profile that is NOT setup with my remote desktop at all. I've used RD for years and have used it on various OS servers, workstations, etc... and when I go to a conference room and connect to my workstation at my desk via the conference room; I would REALLY like my "normal" windows profile from my workstation to be shown and not some basic/random profile shown....

    :)

    Hello,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    Please help me with the below details to understand your issue in a better way:



    1. Are you using the Microsoft remote desktop app?


    If you are using the Microsoft remote desktop app downloaded from
    Microsoft store then, I suggest you to follow the steps to
    fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store
    .



    If the issue still persists with the Microsoft remote desktop app, then you can contact the support team by going to the

    link
    and scrolling down to the bottom and clicking on
    Microsoft remote desktop support under the Publisher info.



    However, if you are using the Remote desktop connection, which comes pre-installed with Windows 10, then I suggest you to please post your question in the
    TechNet forum.



    Hope it helps.

    Remote Desktop and Windows 11 Profile

    Remote Desktop Login Failed

    I just purchased a new Windows 11 system and I am using another Windows 11 system on my laptop to access the system through remote desktop and I get an error that says that the login failed. Something in the new Windows 11 system is blocking logins from remote desktop:

    • I am using my standard Windows credentials to login locally. I have Administrator rights to the system, and a local login works fine.
    • I can use Remote Desktop to login to another similar Windows 11 desktop using remote desktop with the same credentials and that also works fine.
    • I've enabled Remote Desktop access in settings and specified my account as being authorized to login with Remote Deskttop.
    I've gone through all the support articles I could find on the internet on this problem and I implemented the group policy fixes that have been recommended but it still hasn't resolved the problem. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
