WPA2 Network Disconnects?
So I'm running Windows 7 Professional x64. I've been trying to figure out why remote desktop disconnects whenever I try to connect to this computer, and I believe I just found out why, but I don't know how to fix it: Whenever I try to log in to this computer with RDC, the WPA2 network disconnects. When I log my user back in on this computer, it reconnects. Under the Wireless Network Properties dialog, I have 'Remember my credentials for this connection each time I'm logged on' checked. So when my user is logged out when remote desktop tries to log in, the computer no longer knows the username/password? So does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Is there some way to associate the WPA2 credentials with my machine rather than the user (if that would fix it)? Thanks.

You may temporary uninstall the anti-virus and check the result again. How does it work if you do not log on via Remote Desktop, but switch user from the local computer instead? If the issue still occurs, I suggest that you check the driver compatibility related issues. Please upgrade the driver. If the issue persists, please let us know the model of the wireless network adapter. Additionally, you can refer the following thread to check similar settings on your side.

Uninstalling my antivirus didn't fix the problem. When I go to 'Switch User' and log back into the same account, the network seems to be disconnected. Strangely, it seems that after switching users and logging back into my account, remote desktop actually works. I will have to test this more tomorrow, I'm not sure whether it will stay connected, or whether I will be able to remote in again after closing the first one. Maybe I just got lucky. (Normally when I remote desktop in, I get to the desktop, but before I can do anything, it disconnects. And then I am unable to reconnect until I log back into my computer) Thanks.
