So how do I fix the “Remote Desktop An authentication error has occurred” error? The methods are listed below.

Changing Remote Desktop Settings

To resolve the “An authentication error occurred, the requested function is not supported” error, the first step is to change the remote desktop settings.

Here are the instructions:

Step 1: Press the “Win” and “R” keys simultaneously to open the “Run” field.

Step 2: Type sysdm.cpl in the field, then click OK to open the System Properties window.

Step 3: Go to the Remote tab, then disable the option Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with network-level authentication (recommended). Click Apply and OK to save the changes.

Step 4: Reboot your computer, then verify that the “An authentication error occurred” error has disappeared.

Using the Local Group Policy Editor

Many users who do not support the error “An authentication error occurred the requested function is not supported” could solve the problem by using the Group Policy Editor to change the Oracle Cipher Correction Policy.

Note: This method is not used by default if you are using a family version of Windows 7, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. For home versions, the Local Group Policy Editor is not installed by default, so you cannot perform the following steps. However, you can work around this problem by following these instructions (here) to install the Local Group Policy Editor on Windows 10 Home Edition.

After making sure that the local Group Policy Editor is installed on your computer, follow these steps to enable the Encryption Oracle Remediation Policy.

Press the Windows + R key to open a run command. Then type gpedit.msc and press the Enter key to open the Local Groups Policy Editor.
In the Local Group Policy Editor, navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Delegation of Authority in the left pane. Then go to the right pane and double-click Encryption Oracle Remediation.
If the Oracle Encryption Remediation Policy is open, set the radio button to Enabled. Then scroll down to the protection level and change it to “Vulnerable”.
Save the changes, close the Local Groups Policy Editor, and restart your computer. The next time you start the computer, check to see if the problem is resolved.

Using the Registry Editor

The same can be done through the Windows registry. Here are the steps:

Go to Run -> regedit to open the registry editor.
Go to the next key :
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\CredSSP\System\Parameters
In the right pane, change the DWORD value of the AllowEncryptionOracle key to 2.
If you cannot find the key, you must create it.

You should now be able to successfully establish the Remote Desktop connection!
