I have installed the Microsoft Remote Desktop app on my Mac. However, I am unable to use it to remotely control my Surface Pro 5 running the Windows 10 v2004 updates. After I type the username and password for my Microsoft account and click Continue button, it displays The User Account Did Not Work error. The account details are correct and all devices are connected on the same network. How can I resolve the problem? The network is set to private mode and there is not Firewall software. I use the Remote Desktop app on my Win 8.1 computer and still get the warning. If you also face the same issue, try any of the methods to fix it. It may be caused by the cache of the user credentials on the target machine. That happens if you have directly used the face/fingerprint biometric or PIN credentials to log into Windows 10 at the previous time. So the Remote Desktop app try to compare remote authentication with the last physical authentication, and then refuse your connection if it doesnt match. If you login using a Microsoft account like email address and password, the remote desktop server recognizes that it is not a account stored locally on the machine. To get rid of that, you have to create a local user in Windows 10 and log it in via remote desktop. Related Posts
