So, as of recent I have had several occurrences of this wonderful RDP error as of late, so I figured I'd share what I've found to be helpful.

To remove the "Default.rdp" file:
- Open File Explorer
- Navigate to Documents
- Locate "Default.rdp" and Delete it
Attempt to launch an RDP session. If that fixes your error than you'r done. If not, follow these next steps to remove the Registry Key that's causing the issue.
- Click the Start button and in the search bar type Regedit.exe
- Navigate to the following registry key:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSLicensing
- Delete the key
- Attempt to reconnect to the remote PC
If it doesn't work than you will get the following error message: “The
remote computer disconnected the session because of an error in the licensing
protocol“;
