Windows 10: Remote desktop connection error

Hi,I just downloaded the Microsoft Remote Desktop software version 10.2.1817.0 from Microsoft Store on my Windows 11 laptop. I am trying to access a Windows 10 machine. I added the Windows 10 machine by the IP address in the Remote Desktop software, however when I try to connect to it I get the following error:You have been disconnected because another connection was made to the remote PC.Error code: 0x516 Extended error code: 0x0 Activity ID: {e8cae588-4d28-4c8d-943f-f01be02d0000}Any insights will be great. Thanks in advance.

Remote Desktop Connection problems


Have you tried Remote Desktop Connection, to connect from your Windows 10 laptop to your Windows 7 desktop? Try it first, post back and tell how it went.

Some additional help because you mentioned you are a remote newbie *Wink. The windows 7 related tutorials from our sister site the Seven Forums:

1. On Windows 7 desktop, set network location to either Home or Work (I recommend Work):
   • Network Location - Set as Home, Work, or Public Network - Windows 7 Help Forums
2. On Windows 7 desktop, allow incoming remote connections:
   • Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) - Network - Windows 7 Help Forums
3. On Windows 7 desktop, find out its IP address:
   • IP Address - Locate and Find for Your Computer - Windows 7 Help Forums
4. On Windows 10 laptop, start the Remote Desktop application and connect to the Windows 7 desktop using the IP address from step 3 above (see Part Three in the tutorial):
   • RDC - Connect Remotely to your Windows 10 PC - Windows 10 Forums
   • Notice that although the tutorial is written for Windows 10, it also applies to Windows 7

Try the above, post back how it went.

This is probably to do with the default certificate not being accepted through your router, i.e your phone being on the internet and needing to connect to your pc behind a firewall.
