Remote Desktop Login Attempt Failed - Invalid Credentials


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to use Remote Desktop to log into my PC from my laptop.  First, I performed the following on the PC:

1.  Created an account for based on my laptop Microsoft account.

2. Turned on "allow remote access" on the PC and added the new account to the remote desktop users

3. Made sure the remote desktop app is allowed to communicate through the firewall on the PC

 

Next, I logged onto my laptop that runs Windows Home 10 edition.  I open the remote desktop and enter the IP to my PC for the computer name

I get prompted for a user name and password.  The username defaults to my Microsoft account.  

I enter my password and it throws the error "Your Credentials did not work"

 

Am I missing something?  Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

James
