Answer 1

If have not seen this where the settings are not greyed out due to AD Group Policy. Can you run rsop.msc to see what policies are applied to the machine? I guess you could try to apply the policy locally in regedit:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server

fDenyTSConnections = 0

but I think the Control Panel > System > Remote setting does this same thing.

Answer 2

Hi,

Have you installed any third-party antivirus or security software? Could you please do a clean boot on the server and check if the issue persists?

Yes, as a work around, you could create a task in the Task Scheduler to run this Powershell script every 15 min (or more frequently) (Run with highest privileges).

$KeyValue = Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" -Name "fDenyTSConnections"
if($KeyValue.fDenyTSConnections -ne 0)
{
 set-itemproperty -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server" -Name "fDenyTSConnections" -value 0
}
