📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a connectivity issue where a Windows 8.1 computer can establish a remote desktop connection to a Windows 10 machine but becomes unresponsive afterward. The original poster has ruled out firewall, antivirus, and configuration issues, and is exploring potential causes such as application blocking, certificate problems, RDP version, or ports. Despite applying updates and patches, the problem persists, with symptoms ranging from black screens to blurry images and inability to interact with the remote desktop.

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?

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.
