Posting this as a fresh comment since a lot of people are asking a similar question here is what i needed to do to fix credential problem. I had a pin to sign into the pc and this is not what it wants you need to CHANGE it and set up a password if you use a pin because there is no password yet in this case, mine had never been set up, i googled how to do this, its under windows settings. Then the default user name that it implied for me was my Microsoft account, this is not what it wants. It wants the user name that it says at your windows login screen when it asks you for the password that you just set up. THEN the computers may not be able to be logged into the same Microsoft account (this is not windows account this is your separate Microsoft account) so you need to set one of the computers( i would try each one) to "local" mode, i had to google this. Now it works for me.
Ok i figured it out and since a lot of people are asking a similar question here is what i needed to do.

On sign in information - the password etc is that of the PC that i'm remoting into correct? I put in my credentials and it says incorrect password so i'm lost even though I know the right password
user names and passwords in windows ware always fucked up. Even when I did not establish any password, stupid Windows asked me to type a password when sharing a folder in network. I was always amazed how stupid and not intuitive this is. You have to change deep system settings to force windows to work correctly. And now - when MS is basically enforced to use @ account, this is on whole another level LOL
For some reason it is saying i cant log in. I have the right usernam and password but i am still not abel to accses the computer. Any ideas on what i could try to fix this problem?
what do i do when it says it couldnt connect to a different console session on the remote computer because I already have a console session in progress. this is the problem @@CarsonCameronClark
Great question. Because RDP only works within LAN (your Local Area Network) it's generally considered safe when used in a home environment. Enabling it will NOT allow outside users to gain entry.
@@CarsonCameronClark that makes sence. I want to be able to remotely use my setup that is at my university accommodation (which is on an open/public wi-fi network) from my home town. Would it be unsafe to have it enabled on a public network? My gut tells me it would be. I wonder if there are any precautions that I can take to increase my security if I want to do so
@@terifictaylor1076 Highly unsafe. The best thing to do is use something like teamviewer or parsec to access a remote machine :) That way it's secured and authenticated through Teamviewers/Parsec servers and you're not opening up your network to world wide internet scanning/attacks haha

"can't find the computer..." i'm not running a vpn and both computers are connected to the same network by ethernet. I get this error when trying to remote from win 10 to win 11, but the win 11 computer can connect to the win 10. any ideas?
Hey - Best thing to try would be to connect via IP address instead of computer name. The issue you described is a common problem, connecting via IP works pretty well. Grab the IPv4 of the host machine by running "ipconfig" in CMD.exe. Look for IPv4 Field, should be in the same subnet as all of your other devices (10.0.0.x, 192.168.1.x etc)
Are you using a work computer? You might not have the correct permissions. You don't need Admin to run ipconfig, but you could try running CMD as Admin to see what happens.
I'm not sure what you're asking here. RDP is the protocol used for remoting into a windows machine (and it's created my Microsoft). You can connect to the machine on your network either via IP/Hostname.
nah, best bet is to use the chrome version. you’ll have access to everything. and honestly when i saw the microsoft remote on my laptop, i immediately uninstall it.

Hi I like to know if I would like for the other computer to be restricted from looking at all my documents?
Any tips for figuring out issue with username credentials? I believe it’s linked to my Microsoft Account but not 100% sure.
Disregard. I ended up having to create a new local user account to use. For some reason my MS email login wasn’t working.
Is there anyway I can get my RDP to not take input from the controller I’m using on my main desktop?

THANK YOU!
Thanks a lot, it works, very easy, simple, and fast. At first it didn't work because i need to add password to the remoted user.
Glad it helped
I dont have a password setup on the remote machine because I use autologin. Remote Desktop wont work unless I enter a password, which I do not have.
did you find an answer to this? i have the same issue
Worth noting you cant do this on Windows Home version. All depends on what you have
Do both PCs need to be pro version?
Windows 11 home works I use it
@@immortalgoat2622 How, I cant use it and i have home edition
I believe you need a pro account to host a remote desktop but you don't need one to connect to one. @@VuthavadooVikshay

@@hubert3637 okay I’m not alone. Initially I had to password on my desktop and it asked for a password. Still haven’t figured it out
it's not working. followed every step and nothing works it's always an error that says that there's no computer with the said name etc
Try connecting via IP address instead
How do you find the username and password. Never did set it up so any idea where to check it?
It’s the username and password that you use to login to the other machine.
For some reason it is saying i cant log in. I have the right usernam and password but i am still not abel to accses the computer. Any ideas on what i could try to fix this problem?
What’s the actual error you’re getting?
what do i do when it says it couldnt connect to a different console session on the remote computer because I already have a console session in progress.
this is the problem @@CarsonCameronClark
your computer could not connect to another console session on the remote computer because you already have a session in progress
What about Windows 10 Home?
Is it dangerous to have remote desktop connection enabled? Does it give someone outside access to your computer?
Great question. Because RDP only works within LAN (your Local Area Network) it's generally considered safe when used in a home environment. Enabling it will NOT allow outside users to gain entry.

Try checking your firewall, see if anything is blocking the incoming connection.
This is work in private networks only rights ?
Correct.
doesnt work. my friend cant connect to my pc i have windows 11 pro
What if the target PC has no password?
If you get the username, right, it should allow you to connect automatically, though this is not advised. Please use a password for security reasons.
Excuse me, do you know what exactly it is for and do we need it, can I delete the REMOTE DESKTOP CONNECTION.
connected to another machine
It says access denied when I’m in cmd
Are you using a work computer? You might not have the correct permissions. You don't need Admin to run ipconfig, but you could try running CMD as Admin to see what happens.
what would be my credentials
The same username/password that you use to login to the computer when you're physically in front of it :)
Where can i find the credentials?
It will just be the credentials of the machine you're trying to remote into :)
Thank you!@@CarsonCameronClark
Yes but im talking about the credentials im trying to log in (sorry for grammar mistakes)@@CarsonCameronClark
type in "Device Name" into search bar at the bottom left of windows. it will bring a page up about device @@notis_adam5042
i dont get it what password should i input
Use the one that you used to sign in to your other computer.
Does this rdp get ur ip address
I'm not sure what you're asking here. RDP is the protocol used for remoting into a windows machine (and it's created my Microsoft). You can connect to the machine on your network either via IP/Hostname.
You showed the 'ipconfig' output, but you did not demonstrate how to connect using that information.
Copy and paste the ipv4 address and replace the computer name (jumpman in this case) with it. 👍
@@CarsonCameronClarkThanks.
Damn I wish you would be more specific and clearly state which computer is which.
Jumpman is the remote computer that I am connecting to in this video :)
nah, best bet is to use the chrome version. you’ll have access to everything. and honestly when i saw the microsoft remote on my laptop, i immediately uninstall it.
This only works for the Pro edition.. not the home edition... might want to mention that.
