  1. Remote Desktop: Only local account works?


    Hello Microsoft Community,I recently tried to use remote desktop to access my home computer from my work laptop. My work computer is in a build of Windows 10 while my home laptop is running Windows 11. However, I was unable to connect because it kept telling me that my credentials were incorrect. After some digging, I discovered that the problem was because my home computer was using a Microsoft account to log in, and remote desktop appears to not work with Microsoft accounts. I eventually fixed the problem by switching my home computer to a local account instead of a Microsoft account. After

  2. Remote Desktop Connection for local account with no password

    I setup all the computers in my house to have the same username and no password - all of them boot up and go directly to the desktop without any need to login.

    Each one is a Local Account and is Administrator. When I setup remote desktop under User Accounts it specifically said that my username has access.

    I am trying to remote desktop from one machine to the others but it asks for a password.

    I tried disabling Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only

    Can you please tell me what additional steps I need to take to successfully remote in?

    Thank you,

    Okay guys need some help here before going crazy...
    I am trying to setup a remote desktop connection and see exactly what the logged on user is looking at with out going through Windows Remote Desktop.

    Since its local network I don't have any password or want to setup a password.

  4. Remote Desktop: Only local account works?

    remote desktop woe`s

    Since when is that? My local account does not exist on my server, I can log in fine. I could always log in at home from work, again different accounts and even different domains. It matters not, you can enter any credentials. It would be rather useless if it works like you suggested. I fact, no Windows authentication works that way, you can always enter other credentials.
