I have a machine with Win 10 build 18362 and one with Win 7 Ultimate SP1. I can connect with Remote Desktop from the Win 7 to the Win 10 machine just fine, but when I attempt to go from Win 10 to Win 7, it prompts with the standard login credentials, and on the first attempt from a new user account I see the remote computer identity verification prompt that asks to verify the connection is trusted. As soon as I accept though, I see a very brief flash of "Please wait..." (or something similar) that you'd expect when logging on, but then the connection drops.
In examining the traffic with Wireshark, I see that a TLS 1.2 connection is established, but then a TCP reset is sent. Per various fixes online, I have also tried:
I have tried the options presented by Microsoft here (steps 3 & 4), where the following commands are issued in PowerShell to see what applications are listening on port 3389:
cmd /c 'netstat -ano | find "3389"'
cmd /c 'tasklist /svc | find "<pid listening on 3389>"'
At first I thought I was on to something with this, as the report given as to what applications were using the port was "CryptSvc, Dnscache, LanmanWorkstation". I thought these were not RDP related, but upon changing the port to 3390 and repeating the same commands, the same 3 application names now showed up on 3390, leading me to believe these are in fact related to RDP, although according to step 6 of that article, only TermServe.exe should be using the port, so I'm a little unsure about the results of this one. That article was written in 2019 though, and I'm dealing with Win 7, so it could be that Win 7 just lists the 3, not just TermServe.exe.
After examining Event Viewer, I see a warning entry under the branch TerminalServices-ClientActiveXCore -> Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RDPClient/Operational that says:
RDPClient_SSL:An error was encountered when transitioning from TsSslStateDisconnected to TsSslStateDisconnected in response to TsSslEventInvalidState (error code 0x8000FFFF).
Also, under TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager -> Operational, I see an information event that says:
Session 1 has been disconnected, reason code 5
When I look at a list of RDS Session Host Server Disconnect Codes here, reason code 5 is "Another user connected to the server, forcing the disconnection of the current connection."...which is odd, since I am the only user.
It appears that I am getting through my local network and contacting the Win 7 machine just fine. It's right after the identity verification that the connection is dropped. Can anyone see any hints in these symptoms that point to anything I can try to fix?
Thank you!
