1. Press + R and put regedit in Run dialog box to open Registry Editor (if you’re not familiar with Registry Editor, then click here). Click OK.
2. In left pane of Registry Editor window, navigate to following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
3. Now in the right pane of Terminal Server registry key, you must find fDenyTSConnections named registry DWORD (REG_DWORD) which is set to 1. This means that Remote Desktop is disabled with that Value data. So double click on this registry DWORD to modify its Value data:
4. Finally, set the Value data to 0 and click OK. This should enable Remote Desktop on your Windows 10. Close Registry Editor and reboot to make changes effective.
So this is how you can configure Remote Desktop Connections to Windows 10.
