Windows 10: Remote Desktop Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro - The credentials that were used to...

As above I am trying to connect my Windows 10 Home laptop to my Windows 10 Pro Desktop using RDP.

When trying to do this I receive the error 'The credentials that were used to connect to *.*.*.* did not work.

These credentials are being copied and pasted, and are also the ones used to login here so I know they are correct.

I have had this problem before but do not remember how it was solved.

The steps I have tried are:

Checking remote desktop is enabled:




None of these steps have helped atall. I am certain the server is initially accepting the connection as the progress bar moves to 'securing connection' before the connection is dropped.

Any help would be very much appreciated

Invalid Login Credentials Remote Desktop Windows 10

Had the same issue. I was connecting from Windows 10 Home laptop to another laptop with Windows 10 Pro. I recently upgraded the Windows 10 Pro from Windows 7 Professional. I was able to remote desktop prior to the upgrade using my credentials without
any issues. Once I upgraded, to Win 10 Pro, it said my credentials were invalid. It worked fine after this suggestion! Thanks.

 

After upgrading to Windows 10 Pro, Remote Desktop is not working

Hi,

I upgraded to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 7 Pro, using the tool in the Microsoft website. However, after the upgrade I am unable to use the Remote Desktop app in Windows 10. Everytime, I try to Remote Desktop
to a server 2003 in the same network, it throws the "Enter your Credentials" dialog box, however, there is no place to enter the credentials or hit the OK button to continue. The server is on the same network and is accessible to other OS in the network and
the problem just lies with Windows 10 since one of my colleagues also tried with the same result. Please advise.

I have tried the following:

• Allowed the Remote Desktop app in the Firewall to Public, Private and Domain.
• Edited the Group Policy by using

gpedit.msc ->Administrative Templates -> System -> Credentials Delegation -> Allow delegating saved credentials with NTLM-only server authentication -> Enabled + Show -> TERMSRV\<computer name>

• Prior to this, I had also saved credentials in the Credential Manager for the particular server I am trying to connect.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
