    I finally figured out my Wake on LAN issues for my HTPC with my recent upgrade to widows 8.

    Now my issue is how do I disable the 30 sec wait time for approval by currently logged in user when I try to establish a Remote Desktop connection?

    I have tried to change the settings in gpedit allowing admin access with out users permission but it doesn't seem to work in widows 8.

    Any other suggestions?

    Bump.

    Anyone have any ideas on this?

    I use the same user account and password on both.

    Nope I am using the RDP that comes with windows. It's been driving me crazy and I can't seem to figure out what setting it is. When both these computers were windows 7 there was never a wait. Now when the HTPC user is logged in, I have the request and the wait. I have tried disabling fast user switching but that didn't help.



    This is what it shows on the computer i am connecting from to the host.

    I am in the same workgroup with no domain set. I can't figure out if it is a setting on the host or the remote I need to change.



    My issue is exactly the same as this. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/144791-45-prevent-logged-user-denying-remote-deskt

    Still can't figure this out. I reinstalled windows via a clean install on the host. Remote computer still is upgraded from win 7
