The Windows Remote Desktop service is not functioning properly.
The Windows Remote Desktop service is not functioning properly.
I'm having trouble. I rely on RDP that comes built-in, it's convenient but recently I've struggled to reach my machine from anywhere. I'm using a VPN on my router, but when I can't connect to it, I try opening the port manually. Even after updating everything and adjusting firewall settings, I still get the error message 0x104. From my work PC using port forwarding, it works fine, but not from my phone or at home. I just need the RDP to function again without any issues.
Clean the device and begin over. Avoid reopening the connection point. You didn’t perform a full reset. A refresh isn’t enough to guarantee a malware-free system. Consider using RealVNC rather than remote desktop. I EMPHASIZE: DO NOT REOPEN THE RDP PORT AGAIN
Yes, I understand that opening port 3389 isn't a good idea and could pose risks if left unsecured. I see it in the network console when it gets opened, so I only access it during use and close it right away. The last time it was open for about an hour, it stopped around 60 brute force attempts.
Sorry, I don't think anyone can assist you with this. It seems you're confused about what's happening.
the approach is vulnerable to attacks if left unsecured, but protective steps have prevented problems previously. The last incident involved suspicious software using emulation, which stopped functioning and produced error codes indicating the machine was offline. The open port method was only applied twice, suggesting it primarily connects through a VPN.
