Windows 10: Unable to connect to Remote Desktop in Windows 10

Tried to log in using the Remote Desktop and it says it is configuring the remote session and then just disappears. . I've never seen this behavior before and I was stumped . however I was able to login with the same credentials on a different machine.

Could this be due to any firewall setting or screen resolution?

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:

• On Windows 7 desktop, set network location to either Home or Work (I recommend Work):
  • Network Location - Set as Home, Work, or Public Network - Windows 7 Help Forums
• On Windows 7 desktop, allow incoming remote connections:
  • Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) - Network - Windows 7 Help Forums
• On Windows 7 desktop, find out its IP address:
  • IP Address - Locate and Find for Your Computer - Windows 7 Help Forums
• 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):
  • RDC - Connect Remotely to your Windows 10 PC - Windows 10 Forums
  • Notice that although the tutorial is written for Windows 10, it also applies to Windows 7

Try the above, post back how it went.
