Windows 11: Disable Remote Desktop (6 Methods)

If you're using Windows 10 (or Windows 11) and you try to connect to a remote computer that has Remote Desktop enabled and configured, you'll likely receive an error message about an incorrect password.

If that's the case, you're not the only one. The problem seems to lie in how you originally set up the Windows account. For example, if you use a Microsoft account and two-factor authentication is enabled, the system doesn't seem to save the authentication token, which is then used for remote authentication.

The solution to this problem is to log in at least once with the local password to cache the access token, which is then used for remote login.
