Just discovered an issue I'm hoping someone may have an answer to.

I have a headless PC I use as my Plex server. I use RDP to connect from a couple other PC's in my house. Been working fine for ages but just recently, every time I try to connect, I get this error:

An authentication error has occured.
The Local Security Authority cannot be contacted.
Remote Computer: PlexPC
This could be due to an expired password
bla bla bla.

I haven't changed anything. One day it worked, the next it didn't. I think this may be due to a recent update.

Most google results show entries from years ago, nothing all that recent.

Anyone know how to fix? I've tried deleting the RDP icon and created a new one, same result.
