Windows Server 2022…
Problem Our IT security team has weird security setup, which successfully prevented the RDP client from remembering the password, and also caused the following annoying issue RDP connection requires clicking "More choices" → "Use a different account" every time Username not remembered despite saving in RDP file Solution Edit your .rdp file with these key settings: full address:s:your-server-address, such as xetawsdev85.xemt.dev domain:s:XEMT username:s:your-username, such as David.Wei authentication level:i:2 enablecredsspsupport:i:0 Key Points Separate domain and username - don't use XEMT\David.Wei format in RDP file Set authentication level:i:2 - forces proper authentication Disable CredSSP support - enablecredsspsupport:i:0 is essential (tested) If you see a certificate warning on first connection - check "Don't ask me again" Result Username will be pre-filled correctly, only password entry required.
