Windows 10: Remote Desktop Settings Inconsistent

I am hoping you fine people can hep me with a really odd Remote Desktop issue that has me baffled and I can't seem to find anything on the subject searching for it, which seems even more bizarre, you'd think someone has run into this before. Anyway, without further ado,

When you look at the control panel setting for remote desktop, it is set and all is fine





and you go and check in Windows 10 settings, it is set and matches the control panel settings above





but when you check here under system settings, it shows that is off





and this seems to be overriding all the others with regards to accessing the system, don't know why. flip it to on and you get the confirm





but choose confirm and nothing happens, literally nothing and goes back to what you saw above, flipped off





anyone have an idea what in the world is happening here? this is only happening on this machine which is normally working decent, so even more confusing.

remote desktop

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.
