Why Can't I Save My RDP Credentials on Windows 11?

Try opening RDP without connecting to anything first. Click on 'Show Options', enter the destination, and it should indicate if it's set not to ask for credentials. Also, you might want to check the Credential Manager and clear any saved entries for that server.

Are you asking about the initial settings in the Remote Desktop Connection window, where you enter your hostname and options? Or are you referring to the prompt that appears when you actually connect? I still see the option in both spots and haven't had any problems with it disappearing.

Yeah, the lack of that option in Windows 11 is mainly due to Credential Guard being enabled. If you want to avoid these hassles, consider using third-party tools like Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager, RemoteNG, or RoyalTS. They often provide more features and flexibility.

If the credential saving isn't working because of Credential Guard, I have a batch file that can help. It allows you to save your credentials, but you'll need to run it each time your password changes. Just replace with your server's name in the script. Here's a simple overview of the script: ``` @echo off for /f %%i in ('whoami /upn') do set UPNvar=%%i cls ECHO %UPNvar% set /p PW=Password? cls cmdkey /generic:TERMSRV/ /user:%UPNvar% /pass:%pw% ``` Let me know if you need more details!
