Hello,

I’m trying to log in to my Raspberry Pi 5 using RDP from Windows. This has worked before, and I followed the steps outlined here: [https://support.remote.it/hc/en-us/articles/30878890490253-Windows-Remote-Desktop-RDP](https://support.remote.it/hc/en-us/articles/30878890490253-Windows-Remote-Desktop-RDP).

However, after turning my Raspberry Pi off and on again, I can no longer connect via RDP. SSH connection still works. What could be the cause of this, and does anyone have a solution?

Below is the information about my Raspberry Pi and the error message:

**Distribution version:**  
PRETTY\_NAME=“Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)”  
NAME=“Debian GNU/Linux”  
VERSION\_ID=“12”  
VERSION=“12 (bookworm)”  
VERSION\_CODENAME=bookworm  
ID=debian

**Kernel version:**  
Linux raspberrypi 6.6.51+rpt-rpi-2712 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.6.51-1+rpt2 (2024-10-01) aarch64 GNU/Linux

**Model:** Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.0

Hopefully someone can help me with this… 🙂

Already fixed it by myself:

1. Check for Port Conflicts: sudo netstat -tuln | grep 3389
2. Go to xrdp.ini: sudo nano /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
3. Change the xrdp Port: from 3389 to 3390
4. Save xrdp.ini (CTRL + O, Enter) and Exit (CTRL + X)
5. Restart xrdp service: sudo systemctl restart xrdp
