Windows 10: Windows 10 Bug - RDP login error - Bad Credentials

Posting here in case others are in need of a solutionWhen I was trying to RDP to one of my machines I would get the error "The credentials that were used to connect to device did not work. Please enter new credentials". Even though I was using the correct credentials it looks like the machine I was trying to RDP into was not updating the password from my microsoft account. To force this to syncronize I had to lock my machine and then login via password instead of windows hello PIN to force the credentials to update.I was then successfully able to RDP from other machines using my microsoft cr

RDP Credentials Screen

As of this morning, after an automatic Windows update, the credentials page for RDP login has changed (to a flat grey background). It appears completely different and I want to make sure this is part of an official Windows update.

 

RDP: If I save .rdp files with different users for the same target, it will log in with the previous user's credentials

If I save .rdp files with different users for the same target, it will log in with the previous user's credentials.- Make an admin.rdp file with the administrator login and tell it to save the password.
- Make another normal.rdp file with the normal login and tell it to save the password
- Connect using the admin.rdp file and log in administrator
- Connect using the normal.rdp file and it will AUTOMATICALLY login you in as ADMINISTATOR.
- Type cmdkey /list:*|more
- There will be ONE listing for that target with the user name of Administrator- Look inside the both .rdp files with notepad. One shows Administrator and the other normal.
- Edit the normal and it shows Administrator. Tell it to forget the credentials and it returns to normal.
- Connect using normal.rdp and log in.
- Type cmdkey /list:*|more
- There will be ONE listing for that target with the user name of Normal
- Connect with the Admin.rdp and it will log you in as user normal.

This used to work. Now you can only have one user per target. It doesn't matter what kind of games you play with Generic, Domain Password, with TERMSRV or without, it only allows 1 user name per computer no matter what name is contained in the .rdp file. The .rdp will run only who that last user was, not the name in the .rdp file.

Thanks!
