Windows 10: Windows 10 Remote Desktop won't save password

Hi, I am Windows 10 pro and have a remote app that usually works fine on Windows 7 PCs. Here is my issue


If I use the built in Remote Desktop program then my program loads with the programs 'Login' box. I log into it and then the program just will not open (it sits in the taskbar and if you hover over it to show a small version of it then the small version is just blank).


Been looking for months for a fix for that but never found one. So I downloaded Remote Desktop from the windows store. I can almost get the program to work perfectly this way - problem is that it always asks the user to 'Log in' (has a username box with *** Email address is removed for privacy *** as a suggestion). My remote app is on a local server and if I enter the credentials for that server then program opens fine. Problem is that I have these network credentials already saved in the Credential Manager so why does it keep asking me when it should know them.


Answers to either of these problems would be hugely appreciated! Thank you

Remote Desktop - Save connections

Hi Adrian,

Through Remote Desktop Protocol in Windows, you are provided with a graphical interface where you can save the current connection settings to an RDP file or open a saved connection. You may get to this interface by following the steps below:

• Type remote desktop in the Windows 10 taskbar search, and selecting
  Remote Desktop Connection. Make sure that the Computer,
  User name, etc. fields are filled in correctly under the
  General tab.
• Click the Show options button.
• From there, you can save the current connection settings to an RDP
  file or open a saved connection.
• If you are to save a connection, click Save As, and choose the location from where you want to save the shortcut, and click on
  Save.

If you have further questions, feel free to ask us.
