Hello,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community forum.

You can try the following steps to troubleshoot the problem:

Check all dependencies related to the remote desktop service. The service is active and configured to start automatically.

Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
Type services.msc and press Enter.
Look for “Remote Desktop Services” in the list.

2. Use the DISM tool and system file check tool（SFC） to repair system files.

Run the command prompt (administrator), enter the following command and press Enter:

   DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

   DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

   sfc /scannow

Wait for the scan to complete and restart the computer.

If the problem persists, use the Event Viewer to find any error messages related to Remote Desktop Services. Before viewing Logs, enable View > Show Analytic and Debug Logs.

I hope this helps. If you have any follow-up questions, please contact us.

Best regards

Jacen
