Je viens de rencontrer ce pb.
Impossible du jour au lendemain de me connecter au bureau à distance.
Apres recherches un peu fastidieuses, je suis allé dans utilisateur Windows 10 sur l'ordinateur distant (quand j'y ai eu accès) et je me suis connecté avec un compte local plutôt qu'un compte Microsoft.
À ce moment là il demande de créer un mot de passe.
Et ensuite la connexion à refonctionne.
J'ai tout essayé mais cela ne fonctionne toujours pas.
je peux me connecter avec un autres compte microsoft, mais j'ai besoin de me connecter avec mon compte pour pouvoir travailler.
Si vous avez une solution je prends, car les application de bureau a distance ne me permette pas de travailler sur le pc, si quelqu'un utilse l'écran sur un autre pc en même temps.
