Remote Desktop disconnects immediately. Error 4005; Windows logon process has unexpectedly terminated.

Hi, I have always been able to remote into my pc (Win 8.1) using remote desktop. Just recently this stopped working. Either I get a blank screen for about 10 seconds and then it closes or the connection closes immediately. Every time this happens I get error
4005 in the event log; Windows logon process has unexpectedly terminated. It seems the remote desktop stopped working after the last set of Windows updates were applied. But no other web searches indicates anyone else has had this problem recently. I've also
read the Windows Server document or error 4005 which suggests my registry may be corrupt or a service may be stopped but this does not seem to apply to my situation. I'm stumped and without being able to remote into my pc from my office I can't do my job.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: After installing a new required Windows update and a bunch of optional Windows updates (that I had been ignoring), the problem has been fixed. I'm guessing which ever Windows update broke Remote Desktop was fixed in the latest update(s).

Hi arzoo1,
So you have checked the steps mentioned in the article below?
Event ID 4005 — Windows Logon Availability
You may take a try with Dism /online /cleanup-image /resorehealth command and then check if issue insists.
For Windows Update related, please consider system restore or startup repair.
Try to boot into clean boot and then remote again to check if issue insists.

  • Microsoft // Winlogon 4005 (The Windows logon process has unexpectedly terminated) on one Windows Server 2012 VM with working RDS roles installed

    Hello experts,
    I have deployed all essential RDS roles and features on one Windows Server 2012 Virtual Machine

    Every time that happens I get an event ID Winlogon 4005 (The Windows logon process has unexpectedly

  • Remote Desktop Connection Authentication Error from Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 7 Pro

    I keep trying to connect to my server running Windows 7 Pro from my laptop running Windows 8.1 Pro, but I get the following message after providing
    my credentials:
    "An authentication error has occurred (Code: 0x8007001f)"
    I can't find any reference to this error code being associated with using remote desktop.

    Hello,
    Are you connecting to a server as part of a domain ? if so confirm you are using adequate credentials for remote desktop for example: username: domain\administrator 
    if not you can try connecting to the localhost using:
    username: .\administrator   - for example
    also you can try running your remote connection in admin mode:
    Win + R - bring up run then type:
    mstsc /admin
    hope that helps.
    Cheers,

  • Remote Desktop disconnected because of security error from Windows 8.1 Surface to Server 2008

    Hello,
    I am trying
    to connect to a remote app on a 2008 server from a surface pro 3 with 8.1
    through Netilla SSL VPN and I getting the following error message.
    Remote Desktop Disconnected
    Because of a security error, the client could not connect to the remote computer Verify that you are logged on to the network and then try connection again
    if I am connected to the network and use the RDP file, it connects fine.
    This
    was previosluly working, but when I changed the terminal server to per user
    license mode from trial mode this happen
    This works fine from Windows 7 machines.<o:p></o:p>
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Derek

    Hi Derek,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    From the error itself it seems that there is some network connection issue with VPN. Kindly see that you get network when you are using VPN connection, also VPN must be running. You can also try to “ping” the remote computer and see whether there is successful
    ping result.
    Also try to use “Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop” option on server side and check whether you can remote desktop successfully. 
    Apart this issue can also be caused due to certificate as VPN can’t resolve the certificate properly and facing this issue because you are facing issue only with usage of VPN (as you have commented). Please check
    this link for detail.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Remote Desktop to servers crashes on Windows 8.1 Pro

    Hi All,
    I have done a search for this issue previously, but have been unable to find any information relating to my specific issue.

    If the above sheds any light on this, I will thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your description, since system is just fresh installed, it should not other application cause this problem. It is most probably caused by Certificate or Firewall problem, please try to disable Firewall or upgrade your RDP Certificate for test.

    In addition, for RDP client crash problem, I would like to suggest you follow Andre's suggestion in the link below to colect RDP crash dump file, then upload the dump file to your OneDrive and post the sharing link here.

  • Control alt delete from remote desktop connection through virtual pc windows xp on windows 7 professional

    Ok this is an odd one but I am connecting to a server through a vpn which only works on windows xp so I ran a virtual pc instance to connect, and then did a remote desktop connection to the server (Windows server 2008). I need to be able to activate the
    control-alt-delete combination on the server however, to change a password. ctrl + alt + del obviously goes back to my actual machine, and ctrl + alt + end acts on my virtual pc. Is there any way to push the command through to the remote server?

    Hi Cooljoe,
    Based on my understanding, local machine control-alt-delete key combination is control-alt-delete.
    Virtual PC's control-alt-delete key combination is Right Alt - Delete.
    Remote Destop session's control-alt-delete key combination is ctrl + alt +
    end.
    There should be no conflicts between them.

  • The iChat Agent process has unexpectedly quit, disconnecting you from all..

    My iChat has been doing this all the time! I can't stay connected for more than an hour without iChat quitting on me and giving me this message:
    *"Disconnected from iChat Agent. The iChat Agent process has unexpectedly quit, disconnecting you from all services. Logging in again will restart it."*
    I have tried these steps to fix the problem with no success.
    Step 1 - Repaired Permissions
    Step 2 - Rebooted off of the DVD or CD and Repaired Disk
    Step 3 - Went to /Users/user_name/Library/Preferences folder and deleted these files:
    com.apple.iChat.plist
    com.apple.iChat.Aim.plist
    com.apple.iChat.Jabber.plist
    com.apple.iChat.SubNet.plist
    com.apple.iChatAgent.plist
    Step 4 - Reinstalled the **** thing.
    My iChat works 100%, I have no issues connecting, video conferencing, screen sharing and etc. But every hour or so the connection drops and gives me that **** message!!! *"Disconnected from iChat Agent. The iChat Agent process has unexpectedly quit, disconnecting you from all services. Logging in again will restart it."* So have to keep reconnecting all the time! Sometimes I'm in a middle of a conference and the freackn' thing just drops!!!! (Even tho sometimes I do get that error but my video connection still works offline.... not sure how....)
    I have been in several forums and no one was able to fix this issue! Can some official Apple guy help with this!!! I mean, ****!! What an annoying bug!! I really on iChat to communicate with co-workers and etc as I work remotely. If Adium had video support I wouldn't even wast my time to get this thing working, but iChat is still my best option(when the **** thing works)
    Please any help is greatly appreciated.
    And no its not my router and ISP and this happens with any connection(Coffee shops, public libraries, WiFi Hot Spots....)

    I had the same problem a month or two ago. I spent a few hours on the phone with an Apple tech and after the fourth time calling back was transferred to a Product Specialist (the highest level of Apple technicians). The specialist recommended creating a test account on my Mac and trying to launch iChat to see if the problem was system-wide or a user based issue. When that didn't work I was out of options. What it unfortunately came down to was having to do an Archive and Install (which didn't work) and after hours of backing up did an Erase and Install. After all the smoke cleared and my computer was back to normal, iChat was back and fully functional as before.
    IF YOU ARE USING TIME MACHINE:
    *DO NOT* copy all of your files back onto your Mac. Only copy your documents and music, preferences and nothing else. Chances are you backed up the problem without even knowing it and you would just end up back where you started.
    I did notice that my .Mac account still works in iChat but AIM does not (which just happens to be what I use to communicate with the rest of the world).
    Good Luck!

  • My CS6 is giving me an error message that  says "photoshop has unexpectedly quit" and will not open. I have tried re-intalling but it still won't open

    CS6 has stopped working.  It give error message saying that Photoshop has unexpectedly quit and will not open at all.  The same with Elements 11

    Sorry - this is the Audition forum. We don't know anything about Photoshop or Elements at all; you need to ask in the Photoshop forum.

  • My apple RIP gives this error message" the application ppRIPe has unexpectedly quit"

    MY APPLE RIP GIVES THIS ERROR MESSAGE" the application ppRIPe has unexpectedly quit"

    Thanks.
    I should have mentioned that I have already done the Resolving Permissions as outline on Apple Support pages, but, I went ahead and did the complete sequence as shown on Dr. Smokes.
    I decided to stop beating a dead horse and did an Erase and Install of 10.2 again since I did not have anything on there yet. So far, everything is working perfectly. I am doing the Software Updates called for one by one to see if any of those caused the problem.
    The only thing I did other than doing all of the updates after the install was to install OS 9.2 for my Classic Environment software and I also installed an HP PSC 1315v All-In-One scanner/printer. I cannot imagine that would have done anything.
    I did have some strange issues with Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego and The Star Fleet Technical manual so I may stay away from them unless I start in OS 9 if none of the other updates cause any issues.
    Thanks. BTW, How should I rate your answer? I know that it did not solve my problem, but, it is likely that something else I did whacked something.
    I'll update when I know more.

  • IOS App 8.1.5 Remote Desktop can't connect to Windows 7 Pro after upgrade. Error 0x00000507

    Nothing has changed between my network, Windows 7 computer or my iPad besides the upgrade of the ios app software to 8.1.5.  Did not used to have any issues connecting but now when I try to connect, I get the above error when logging in.
    I have tried reinstalling the ios app with no success and also confirmed I can still remote desktop to the PC from another PC with the credentials I've always been using.
    I've also tried explicitly including the domain when entering the username with no luck.  Looked through my Windows 7 event logs and can't find any more information on what this error means.
    Has anyone seen anything similar or have any ideas what I can do to troubleshoot? Thanks!

    Hi,
    I have a same problem.
    Although RD Client 8.1.4 worked great, now I cannot connect to Windows 7 Professional computer from my iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.4) since the latest update.
    Same as Twiggles, when I try to log in (just after entering username and password), the app gives me error code 0x507 "Disconnected from server".
    Note that I connect to my PC over VPN using Cisco AnyConnect app.
    After that, I've tried to connect to my PC in two different ways with same network settings as the above situation.
    1. Use different remote app
    I've tested free version of "PocketCloud" from Dell Wyse, and I CAN connect to my PC.
    2. Use different version of iOS
    I've tested the latest RD Client 8.1.5 on my another iPhone (5s) with iOS 8.1, and I CAN connect to my PC.
    Therefore, I assume our 0x507 is not setting related, but probably some sort of iOS version dependent problem arise from the latest update.
    Even though I tried PocketCloud, I believe RD Client is the BEST app for remote desktop for iOS.
    I strongly hope this problem will be solved!
    Thanks.

  • OS X remote desktop failure to PC with Windows Server - no error messages

    Recently I installed the Microsoft Remote Desktop App on my iPhone 5s and successfully managed to connect to a machine which is running Windows Server. I also frequently connect to it using remote desktop on a PC. 
    I have since installed the Remote Desktop app onto a Macbook with Yosemite and the exact same settings do not work. When I click start, I get a black screen which says 'Initializing' and then 'Connecting' and then the window simply closes, with absolutely
    no error message or warning. 
    The connection involves specifying a gateway if this is of relevance.
    Given connection is possible using the same app on another device, I cannot reconcile the fact that it does not work through a Macbook and it's very frustrating because things I need to do are essentially not worth doing on the iPhone screen. 
    At the moment, the only thing I can think of is that the app version for iPhones works and the one for actual Mac computers is faulty because I see these are different versions. 
    Please help or restore my sanity by confirming my suspicions and if it is so, advise when the Mac version will be rectified. Alternatively, if there is an old version which would work, please can you provide a link to where I can install this? 
    Thanks in anticipation!

    Hi,
    From your description it seems that your MRD MAC is not working. Can you let us know which version of MRD MAC you are using, please try to use latest version v 8.0.13 and check?
    Btw, by which method you are trying to remote connect (via IP address or Hostname). Please try alternate way and see. Also you can find the log on below path for more research on MAC.
    Microsoft Remote Desktop>About Microsoft Remote Desktop>Send log via email
    Apart for a try, built URI scheme and connect the server to check. You can get information over
    here.
    And for older version, sorry to say but there is no such option to download. 
    Hope it helps!

  • Remote Desktop Connection for Mac to Windows - logout error

    Hello
    I'm trying to use Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) to get from my Mac into a MacMini running Windows XP Professional. I can log into the Windows computer, but once I put in my password and click OK, it logs out of the Windows machine. Is there some sort of sharing preference or configuration that I'm missing that's making this happen?
    I want to be able to use RDC to access the Windows machine and keep everything up still on the Windows machine.
    Thanks

    Since RDC is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered.

    Hi,
    When you try to start the Remote Destop Connection, what errors it showed out?
    Could the other PCs connect this PC with the RDC?
    So you have read this blog?
    RDP connections might fail due to a problem with KB2621440 - MS12-020
    Did you reinstalled the KB2621440?
    Besides, did you follow this guide to enable the RDC connection?
    Connect to another computer using Remote Desktop Connection
    And also this guide?
    Why can’t I connect using Remote Desktop Connection?
    Please take a check with those settings again.
