November 29, 20196 yr I have created a Windows 10 VM on my unraid server. It all seems to be working satisfactorily, with one exception: When I first boot the VM, I have no trouble connecting to in from a Windows 10 host on my network. However, once my host goes to sleep/hibernate or once it restarts, I can no longer connect to the VM. The error message is Quote Remote Desktop can't find the computer 'DESKTOP-AR3CLUV'. This might mean that 'DESKTOP-AR3CLUV' does not belong to the specified network. Verify the computer name and domain that you are trying to connect to. I can still connect to the VM with VNC, so I know that it is still running. But the only way I have found to reconnect with RDP is to restart the VM. I am hoping that somebody out there can help me figure out how to get RDP to reliably connect to my VM.

I still don't understand why 'DESKTOP-AR3CLUV' stops working, but as long as I have this workaround, that's all I need.
