I want to enable picture logon to domain-joined Windows 8.1. However in Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options, there is no option for that, but unhelpful "Some settings are managed by your system administrator".
Setting "Turn off picture password sign-in" to Disabled didn't help (I've rebooted and verified gpresult which looks ok).
Any suggestions why it would be disabled, please?
At some point in Windows session (usually days) I can no longer make RDP connections. When running mstsc and entering credentials, all buttons are getting disabled and the UI freezes. Existing sessions are unaffected, restart solves the problem.
I found advice to clear terminal services cache and disable sound in remote session. Have tried, it didn't help. Event log is empty.
Any suggestions how to fix it please?
Edit: OS is Windows 2008R2x64, SP1 and fully updated. Mstsc version is 6.3.9600. Issue doesn't seem to be specific to the target machine (fails for all I've tried - Win7x64, Win8.1 and Win2008r2).
