Rightklick devenv.exe and choose Troubleshoot compatibility. In the new window click at Troubleshoot programm, then check The programm requires additional permission.

This forces the settings to administrator rights only, without running in compatibility mode.

Otherwise with other programs you should be able to right click and hit properties. There should be a compatibility tab. If not need to enable the compatibility tab in win 10.

If you ever receive the following; it means the terminal server can only accept a certain amount of simultaneous connections.

To get around this try the following:

mstsc /v:x.x.x.x /admin

Replace the x.x.x.x with the address of the terminal server.

After connecting you will need to log out the duplicate user.

Hope that helps 🙂

After a fresh install of an SQL instance, you may find you cannot connect to it from another machine on the network. It might be that the firewall is blocking it. Try the following on the server:

– Open Windows Firewall:
– Allow programs to connect
– Add sqlbrowser and sqlserver found in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.[INSTANCENAME]\MSSQL\Binn\sqlservr.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\sqlbrowser.exe
