Windows 10: Windows 10 Remote Desktop App can't connect to Windows 2012 Server - but RDP can!

I can connect to a remote Server 2012 R2 using RDP.


When I try and use the Windows 10 Remote Desktop app the connection always fails with 'Could't Connect'.


Windoes 10 App can connect sucesfully to my local server and two other remote servers running Windows Server 2019 - so it appears to be Server 2012 R2 releated.

Remote Desktop limit to 2 screens?

Is it possible to limit Remote Desktop in Windows 10 to only use 2 out of 3 screens connected to a pc?

Remote Desktop is to a Windows 2012 Server.

 

Win10 won't connect to 2012 server with rdp


When RDP gets flaky like this, I find that going into System, Remote Settings, and then toggling the radio button for Remote Desktop often helps. That is, you'll click the radio button to "don't allow" then click apply, then click the radio button to "allow remote connections," then click apply again.





Don't ask me why, but it has restored RDP capability to me several times recently on both the Current Branch and on Insider Preview editions of Windows 10. Perhaps it might help you as well?

Here's hoping so!

Windows 7 and Remote Desktop Connection

It is a Windows server that they are connecting too. Also forgot to mention in my previous post that it isnt for personal use its for business use. So they'd have to pay for the licensing.

As for the RDP being limited to two users, its never been a problem with them in the past. In fact, there are 3 total IP's that they can remote into and use. As for how many connections are limited per IP, I am unsure. We dont have control over that since it is not our server. I assume since there are 3 IP options to choose from so the users can do their work, each IP is stuck with 2 users per IP.
