Remote Desktop Error 1702 getting session names. Error [1702]: The binding handle is invalid.

I have it working now, if you can't get Remote Desktop working. AKA it was working before and it suddenly stopped, an update may have gotten you. After some googling and a bit of fiddling I brought up the cmd prompt and got the Error[1702] error when typing qwinsta. The problem ended up being that somehow my Terminal Services were disabled.

I fixed it by going to control panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services

Scroll down to terminal services right click, go to properties and set to automatic, then right click and click start service. This may work for you, it did for me.

Remote desktop has certainly made things easier for businesses. With RHUB’s new 4-in-1 remote desktop, trend seems to be shifting to multi-capable solutions.
