Steps to reproduce the problem:


1 install win10 1909 or 2004 clean (no upgrade), let's call this system "A"

2 enable the incoming firewall rule for remote desktop shadowing

3 configure the use of shadowing on the target machines, using this GPO setting: on your target machine, go into gpedit.msc -> Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Remote Desktop Services / Remote Desktop Session Host / Connections and enable the policy "Set rules for remote control of Remote Desktop Services user sessions" and set it to "Full Control with user's permission"

4 from another win10 1909 system (call it system "B"), use the command

mstsc /shadow:1 /v:A


->expected behavior:

session 1 (by default the console session) will be shadowed after the remote user agreed

->observed behavior:

On B, I get a message "the version of windows running on this server does not support user shadowing"

What makes me believe that this is a bug is that this will not happen on any win10 v1909/2004 that was upgraded from previous versions (here: from 1803). It will ONLY happen on clean installations of windows10 v1909/2004.

Please reproduce this and correct it, Microsoft.
