I have a Windows 10 computer, upgraded from Windows 7. On it, I use Remote Desktop to connect to a computer running Windows 7. I use a shortcut that specifies the computer to connect to using mstsc.exe /v. The Windows 7 computer is secured so that only one user is permitted to log in with Remote Desktop. After I first upgraded, everything worked as it did under Windows 7 and presented a login screen with the user account name filled in so I only needed to type the password. Something changed, and it now presents a screen to log in to the remote computer with the Microsoft Account that I use to log in to the Windows 10 computer. I have to manually select "Use another account" and enter the user name and the password. Is there any way to prevent Windows 10 from assuming that the credentials for this computer should be used for Remote Desktop connections? Is there any way to configure the mstc.exe shortcut and/or a .rdp file to specify what account I wish to always use when connecting to a specific computer?
1It works just like it always has. Edit your RDP connection, hit "Show options" at the bottom, edit the credentials as wanted, fill it out, save. Where are you running into a problem? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2016-08-07T20:25:39.853
I know you can turn the use of a Microsoft Account with TeamViewer. – Ramhound – 2016-08-07T23:29:32.657
