Windows – “Incorrect username or password” using RDP and entering administration credentials (Windows 10)

administratorremote desktopwindows 10

I can successfully login remotely to the computer under Windows 10 using either administrator or user accounts.

When logged in as a user I'm trying to run the program as an administrator and receiving the "Incorrect username or password" message when entering administrator's credentials.

When I'm trying to login and another active session exists I'm getting "Only one session allowed" error.

My assumption: when I'm trying to run a program as admin being logged in as user, Windows consider this as another remote session and blocks access.

Is there a way to workaround this without switching user's account type to the administrator?

It seems like the domain user has no access to local credentials.

You don't need to make the user a domain admin. You can add instead the domain user to the local admin group.

See the post How to add a domain user to Administrators group in Windows 10.
