I just upgraded to Windows 10 Pro and I am able to RDP into all of my server 2003 servers but I can't RDP into any server 2008 or server 2012. When i try it just freezes at the login screen. Things I have tried.
I have tried the Remote Desktop client that can be downloaded at the MS app store.
I have tried several setting in the actual client but to no avail.
I have tried changing the remote access settings on the server to allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop.
The Windows Firewall is disabled on the desktop and I tried it without any virus protection installed.
Thanks

Windows 10 RDP works fine on Server 2008 and 2012R2 - I use it at clients. RDP V10.0.10240 on Windows 10 Pro 54-bit. Check what version you have.
Then run SFC and if that does not work DISM restore health
System File Checker:
Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator and run SFC /SCANNOW.
Allow to complete, restart or, preferably, shut down the computer and then start up again.
Test to see if the problem has been corrected.
DISM:
Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator.
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Scanhealth (takes 15 - 20 minutes).
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth (takes 15 - 20 minutes).
Restart the computer and test.
Please let us know after you have run these.

You should figure out what is going on, because the first answer: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit CAN absolutely RDP into your servers. No need for a third party product. Something must be set incorrectly or there must be some other problem with your servers that you might wish to sort out.
