So I have been having this issue logging in to a server since I installed VisualCron and am currently on 6.2.0. Unfortunately, I have tried troubleshooting this for some time, but have gotten nowhere. This issue is present across multiple servers (all servers using VC). If I manually lock the server, then exit a remote desktop session, then have VC log in, it successfully takes control of the desktop. Otherwise, I will constantly get the error 'Exception in Task: Failed to connect to Credential Provider'

Here are the logs from a failed login (when I do not lock the server) and successful login (when I manually lock the server and shut a remote desktop session) if anyone has any suggestions or tips.

Have you checked the documentation of security settings to change (depending on computer) an reboot the server after doing these changes?

I have indeed, I have spent many hours going through that documentation just to make sure it was done correctly.
