I've made sure I have the same version of RD (10.2.1810.0) downloaded on the host and client. I keep getting the error

"You have been disconnected because another connection was made to the remote PC."
Error code: 0x516
Extended error code: 0x0
Activity ID: {0601ed64-0a52-479f-b93d-ae5888b30000}

Both PC's are on the same network.
Host is running: Windows 10 Pro 1909
Client is running the same.

    Same here.

    Two computers, both Windows 10 Home, build 19043.1466, Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3920.0

    One connects on RDP just fine, other fails with error 0x516

    Same with me.

    My Mac works to connect the VM. But my windows cannot connect with the following error:

    Error code: 0x516
    Extended error code: 0x0
    Activity ID: {649fbe93-b90a-474c-95b8-edbbfda80000}

    For Windows 10 the only solution is to create a Microsoft account. And put the data to enter the Microsoft account. Windows 10 doesn't love local accounts when it comes to remote desktop
