    Remote Desktop Connection the old one stopped accepting password


    Remote Desktop Connection, the old app that allows file transfer, stopped working. It connects and displays a desktop with the credentials prompt but it tells me the user name or password are incorrect.


    A machine that has not had Windows update run in a couple months is working fine.


    The Windows Store version of the Remote Desktop app works fine, but doesn't allow file transfer.


    What did Windows update break?

    :)

    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:


    1. On Windows 7 desktop, set network location to either Home or Work (I recommend Work):
    2. On Windows 7 desktop, allow incoming remote connections:
    3. On Windows 7 desktop, find out its IP address:
    4. 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):
    Try the above, post back how it went.

    Remote Desktop Connection the old one stopped accepting password

    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.
