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()...

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.
