  1. Win10, can't login: Error message:"the number of connections to this computer is limited...


    Hi,


    When trying to log in to a WIN 10 PC which serves as an HMI for a machine I get the message "The number of connections to this computer is limited and all connections are in use right now. Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB Version 1607.

    The issue occurred yesterday after a reboot.

    So far I have tried:

    1. Undo ethernet cable and reboot
    2. in safe mode: cmd --> netsh int ip reset
    3. in safe mode: DWORD MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server & MaxConnectionsPerServer added
    4. in safe mode: Restrict Remote Desktop Services --> Disabled
    5. in safe mode: all network adapters disabled

    ...that's basically all ideas I found in the www but none has worked.


    Are there any there actions I can try?


    Kind Regards

    Thomas

    :)

    Issue with connecting to Internet and gets error message "Limited connection".

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. I understand that you have an issue with connecting to Internet and gets error message "Limited connection".
    I will surely help you to fix this issue.

    Limited Connectivity error means the computer has successfully connected to the router, but the PC wasn't assigned a valid IP address.

    To understand the issue better, I would need more information from your end.

    1. What is the make and model number of the computer?

    2. Are you using a wired or wireless Internet Connection?

    Try the steps listed here:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to try the steps in the following article to fix the issues with limited network connection.

    Note: Applies to Windows 10.

    Method 2:

    Warning:

    1) Please make sure to re-enable Antivirus software after performing troubleshooting steps.

    2) Antivirus software/ Firewall can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable or uninstall your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable or uninstall it to install other
    software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled or uninstalled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of the issue so that we can assist you further.
