RDP ofcorse ;-) Faster fingers than thoughts. I have a problem. On my computer from Windows 8.1 I am trying to connect to a remote desktop (Windows 10). I succeed, but I can not do anything. As if it was frozen. I see the desktop and that's it.
I turned off the antivirus. I shut down the firewall. Nothing helps.
From another computer with Windows 7 there is no problem. Everything works.

What could be the reason? Something blocking the connection? Any problems with certificates?
Can I re-install rdp 8.1? Possibly go down to 8.0?
Strange accidents. I have no idea.

You can try running this code to repair WMI which needs to be in a working state for RDP
You will need to run it from an elevated powershell window.

This command needs to return that the repositories are consistent, if they are type y at the prompt.
winmgmt /verifyrepository

$result = Read-Host -Prompt "Repos in consistent state? (Y/N)"

Reboot after running this.

Code: 
Stop-Service -Name "TermService" -Force

Set-Location -Path "C:\Windows\System32\Wbem"
$DLLs = Get-ChildItem *.dll

foreach ($dll in $DLLs)
{
    regsvr32.exe /s "$($dll.FullName)"
}

regsvr32.exe /s "C:\Windows\System32\tscfgwmi.dll"
wmiprvse /regserver
winmgmt /verifyrepository

$result = Read-Host -Prompt "Repos in consistent state? (Y/N)"

if($result.ToLower()...

You never answered my question, are you connecting through a VPN?

I did not connect via VPN.
Curiosity. TeamViewer works fine. Only this still does not solve the problem.

Can you ping the Windows 10 box and report your latency?

Another item, go into display settings and make sure there isn't a custom scaling in use.
