Windows 10: windows 11 insists on me login into my samba instance with a microsoft user.

Hey running windows 11 on my laptop, and when ever I try to connect to my samba instance running on the local network it doesn't prompt me for username and password like it does on windows 10. I only have it configured for it to work with that spefic username / password.

Windows 10 RDC insists to log me in with a microsoft account

After a windows update, i cannot connect to my server, because RDC insists to use my microsoft account as login on a server with a local account.

This bug prevents me from connecting to my server, because i get this weird message on RDC

This bug causes some other bug with samba, where windows forgets what my mapped network drive is

I've tried:

• Editing the credentials from within RDC
  
• Deleting the Default.Rdp file in documents
  
• Deleting the entry within Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Servers
  
• Using credential manager to delete the passwords.
  
• Deleting the credentials from RDC
  
• Giving the server a new hostname
  

Is there a way to fix this instead of reinstalling windows on my server and pc

 

Unknown user account at windows 10 login screen

I have the same issue but I have 11 users and now on the log in screen I have 11 user names and 11 of the "password" with the "key" next to them. So, that's 22 logins on the lock screen. The "password" logins are actually the users. I am trying to get rid
of the "password" tabs so only my user names show on the login screen. I checked for the registry folder you mentioned and it is not in the list.

Any other suggestions?

 

Microsoft Login

Hi Gourmage,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to perform Safe Mode with Networking and then try to change the password.

Method 1: Safe mode.

Please follow below steps:

• • 
    Click on power button at left bottom corner, press and hold
    Shift key and click on Restart.
    
  • 
    Click on Troubleshoot.
    
  • 
    Click on Advanced options.
    
  • 
    Click on Startup Settings.
    
  • 
    Click on Restart.
    
  • 
    Login to Microsoft Account and create a new administrator account.
    

If you’re not able to login using Microsoft account then refer to below steps and check if it helps.

Method 2:
Activate Inbuilt Administrator Account.

Follow the below steps:

• • 
    Click on power button at left bottom corner, press and hold
    Shift key and click on Restart.
    
  • 
    Click on Troubleshoot.
    
  • 
    Click on Advanced options.
    
  • 
    Click on Command Prompt and enter following command.
    
    net user Administrator /active:yes
    

Now reboot your system and login to inbuilt admin account and try to reset password for other account. Once you reset password login to other account and to deactivate inbuilt admin account enter following command in elevated command prompt.

net user Administrator /active:no
