RDP Crashes After Entering Password

Solution 1:

The problem was from the recent CSR harmony bluetooth driver I installed. The drivers try to add some bluetooth tag authentication which was causing the issue and RDP crashes regardless of a good or bad password.

The simple fix is to head to

C:\Program Files\CSR\CSR Harmony Wireless Software Stack

and change

BLEtokenCredentialProvider.dll

to

BLEtokenCredentialProvider.dll.BAK

And the issue is now fixed for me.

Solution 2:

I had the exact same problem for months and Mike Averto's answer did the trick (thanks !).

To make it a bit less hackish, I disabled the credential provider in the registry rather than renaming the DLL:

• launch regedit.exe
• go to the key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\Credential Providers
• locate the subkey referring to BLEtokenCredentialProvider (5355DA8C-FE32-49b4-A567-A67535C86592 in my case)
• add to it a new DWORD32 value with name "Disabled" and value 1

Solution 3:

I don't have the DLL mentioned as well as the related registry key but I found out the culprit which is the FaceCredentialProvider by trial and error.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\Credential Providers\{8AF662BF-65A0-4D0A-A540-A338A999D36F}.
