Generally firewalls bundled with anti-virus packages, such as AVG, will block Remote Desktop on Windows 7. If you can’t access your newly enabled Remote Desktop Protocol computer, check any third-party firewalls to ensure they have not blocked it.
When you enable Remote Desktop on Windows 7, it will automatically open up the required ports. You can now search and add users or security groups to the list of people who have permission to connect. To change this, press the “Select Users” button. Step 4: Select users who can use Remote Desktop (optional)īy default, only Administrators of the local machine can connect via Remote Desktop.
This means you can go to another computer or mobile device on the network, open up Remote Desktop Connection, put in the name or IP address, and connect to the computer using administration credentials. You have now enabled remote desktop on your computer. Pick one of these options and save the changes. Don’t feel too bad about it – it’s fairly common and not a huge issue if you’re only using RDP on your local network. Most users need to select the less secure version as they don’t have Network Level Authentication setup. You can either disable Remote Desktop (the default option), enable it for users running the Remote Desktop Client with Network Level Authentication, or enable it for all users no matter their version (less secure).
