As the title says, but I'm pretty sure I entered my account name and password correctly when I connected to my computer with RD Client.
I also created a local user. I can connect to my computer with my local account name and password
I typed "Microsoftaccount\<my email address>@harsh.com .com" and it still didn't work.
Hi @skyloved ,
please try .\<your-user>@outlook.com .
I just tested this on my Windows 11 VM and it works with the Remote Desktop App on my Mac.

Yes, it can connect. I created a local account and I can connect with my local account, but when I switch to Microsoft account it always says "The user name or passworld did not work."
Have you tried this?
.\<your-user>@outlook.com -> dot backslash in front of youruser@harsh.com .com
Here it works this way.

In the RD client settings I enabled "Admin mode" and "don't use for local adress" and then I ran the system file verification program in my computer (but the program said my system files were fine) and it worked.
When I unenable these two options, I can connect to my computer again
WTF, I'm so confused, I'm not sure what's causing this. But now it works.
Thank you for your patience in answering me!
:D
Hi @skyloved ,
have you tried MicrosoftAccount\<your-user>@outlook.com already?

Yes, I use my Microsoft email account and password.
I mean have you tried to enter MicrosoftAccount\<your-user>@outlook.com with the leading MicrosoftAccount\ in the username field?
Because the part in front of @outllook.com is not visible in your screenshot.
