Windows 11 RDP does not work until signed in normally

Question

I have users who remote into a Windows 11 Pro VM. If they have to reboot the machine, then RDP does not work until someone logs into normally (from the console).

Anyway to fix this?

Hello,

You can try to disable the "Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL" setting:

1. Press Windows Key + R, type "secpol.msc"
2. In the left pane, navigate to "Local Policies" -> "Security Options."
3. In the right pane, locate the "Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL" policy.
4. Double-click on the policy to modify it.
5. Select the "Disabled" option.
6. Click "OK" to save the changes.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Kind Regards,
Karlie Weng
