Save RDP Credentials

Windows Defender does not allow saved credentials to be used anymore. This can be worked around with:

"Windows Defender Credential Guard does not allow using saved credentials" for RDP connections?

Solution:

cmdkey /generic:TERMSRV/<targetname> /user:<username> /pass:<password>

cmdkey /list:TERMSRV/*

cmdkey /delete:TERMSRV/10.10.10.10
