Windows 10: Remote desktop no longer works over LAN, with Microsoft account, after enabling MFA

Two computers. Same LAN, same subnet.Both running Windows 11 Pro.I have logged into both physically.I sit at PC1, which is logged in as *** Email address is removed for privacy *** attempt to log into PC2 as *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, using Remote Desktop. It says the password is incorrect.I know the password is correct because the account is THIS SAME ACCOUNT I'M USING TO POST THIS. I lust locked my local PC and re-logged in using my windows password. It worked, sending my MFA request.I cannot remote desktop, using my microsoft account, to two machines in the same room now that I have enabled MFA.How can I remote desktop using MFA

:)

 

Remote desktop and wake on lan. ?

Hello TC, thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community. I am here to help and provide assistance with any questions or concerns you may have.

Yes, you can remotely access a Windows 11 Pro PC in sleep mode. Here's how to make it work:

Remote Desktop: Ensure Remote Desktop is enabled on the target PC. Follow this guide: https://pureinfotech.com/enable-remote-desktop-....

Wake-on-LAN (WoL): Configure WoL on the target PC. This involves settings in the BIOS/UEFI and your network adapter. An excellent guide can be found here: How to Enable Wake On Lan in Windows 11: Remotely Turn On PC.

Note: This is a non-Microsoft website. The page appears to be providing accurate, safe information. Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

The steps are pretty straightforward:

Send a WoL 'Magic Packet': Use a WoL utility on another device on your network to send a special network packet that will wake your target PC. Many free tools are available, or you can configure your router for WoL forwarding if accessing from outside your local network.

Connect with Remote Desktop: Once the target PC is awake, establish a Remote Desktop connection as you normally would.

A very useful tip from experience is to consider assigning a static IP address to your target PC for easier WoL targeting.

Let me know if you'd like assistance with any specific steps or have further questions!
