Okay, so here is the story. I have been doing remote desktop using Tailscale for 2 years now. I work on 29 different machines. It works so well using Tailscale and I know it is much more secure. I remote in from my main PC at my home and also from my laptop when I travel.

I remoted in to a pc one day when I was traveling with my laptop and everything worked great. Then 2 days later when I was going to remote again, and it now says my credentials don't work. I don't know what is going on. I was thinking that maybe something happened to the PCs that caused them to not be able to accept remote connections. But when I got home and went to my home PC, I can remote in with no problems at all. It only happens with the laptop.

What could be wrong? Is it my laptop? If so, what do I need to do to correct this?

When you travel do you use public Wi-Fi? Run a scan with something like malware bytes.

I never use public WiFi. It is the latest W11 update that has caused this. Someone on another forum talked about how the latest W11 update has created chaos with RDP.
