RDP access to VM not possible unless WebConsole opened

I have a VMware ESXI 7.0 installation with several VMs.
To all VM that run on Windows Server 2019 I can connect via RDP without any issue.
But for the VMs that run on Windows 10, the RDP connection fails. I always have to connect to the VM via Web Console (I don't have to login. It seems to be enough waiting at the login screen of Windows). Only then RDP connection is possible from my client.
So, I don't suspect a problem with RDP activation in Windows 10 itself. What else could be the issue?
Thanks
EDIT:
It might be related to VMware tools..?
If I remember correctly, on windows server you get 2 remote connections + 1 local connection and on windows 10 you have only 1 allowed connection.
If you don't have any connexion on your windows 10 you should check on your VMs if users have the right to connect remotely, or your remote configuration settings.

Hybrid Connection Manager doesn't connect

Been trying unsuccessfully to make the Hybrid Connection Manager work, it's my first hands-on experience:
On Azure portal:
I've installed Hybrid Connection Manager on my laptop (using local admin account, Win 7 Enterprise) and also used it as on-premise endpoint for a MS SQL Express instance. psPing (great toolset by Mark Russinovich) shows connectivity on port 1433 and I can connect through SSMS without any issue.
I tried this in a workshop today and one of the trainers was able to get connected when using the same network connection, but a laptop from his organization.
Any ideas on what to try next?
The problem was the operating system. It seems that Windows Server 2012 or later is a prerequisite.
Thanks to DrewB and Rtm9018 for their comments in the thread at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/app-service-hybrid-connections:

Is it possible to extra authentication in rdp connection

I am new to Azure. I have created a Virtual Machine windows server 2016 in Azure. When I connect it a rdp file wil download so that I can do remote desktop to my server in Azure. This is a normal rdp connection with authentication of username and password for the machine.
My question is , Is it possible to add an extra authentication , which is similar to Remote desktop gateway in server 2012 on-premise , in Azure server 2016.
Could anyone help me in this, Is there any documentation ?
Thanks
Yes, you can add further authentication for your RDP. Here is link.

How to connect to windows server 2012 from windows 8.1

I am completely new to this challenge. The scenario is :
I have create two virtual machines on Microsoft Azure. First VM is Windows Server 2012 R2 and second VM is Windows 8.1
I have configured a domain controller on Windows Server. I want to connect to server from windows 8.1
I have attempted following:
In the browser of windows 8.1 - http://dc/connect
but it shows error as:
`This page can’t be displayed
•Make sure the web address http://dc is correct.
•Look for the page with your search engine.
•Refresh the page in a few minutes.`
Also I tried changing domain of windows 8.1 machine. but it is not allowing me
There's nothing preventing you from connecting to a Windows Server machine from Windows 8.1 in Azure. What probably you did wrong is the network configuration. Both VMs must be in the same virtual network. When you create a new VM, you have to choose "From Gallery" to be able to select the VNet you will deploy it to. Once both machines are in the same VNet you will be able to ping the private address, join domain, access network file shares, etc.
Deploy using "Quick Create" only if you want to quick test something solo. At this point, if you really didn't setup the network configuration properly you will have to redeploy. Just delete the Windows 8 VM (without deleting the VHD) and after a while the machine disk should appear on the vm creation wizard under "My disks". Just recreate the VM using the original settings and making sure the VNet for both VMs are the same.

Connect to Sql Server of Windows Azure VM from local Sql Server

I am trying to connect to my Sql server 2012 which is setup on Azure VM. I am trying to connect it from my local Sql server 2012. I have tried all these steps
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-provision-sql-server/
But still not able to connect. I getting this error
Can Some please help me to solve this problem?
Since you're connecting to cloudnet.app domain address I assume you don't use VPN. This means:
- SQL Server authentication should be set to mixed mode
- SQL login should be created or enabled
- In case enabling SA login make sure you set the password
For connectivity part I agree with Jason's suggestions, but I would not disable firewall, since with endpoints facing public internet it is your last line of defense on the VM. Just make sure you have allow rule for the SQL Server port (most likely 1433).
Confirm the following:
You have configured the cloud service port 57500 (from the screenshot) to forward to the port that SQL is configured on, typically 1433.
Turn off the firewall within the VM. Once you get a working connection, I would reconfigure the firewall to only open the port(s) you need for security. The instructions you provided show how to open a specific port, but you should first disable the firewall to rule out a misconfiguration there.
Remote into the VM and ensure that you're able to use the management tools on that machine to make a local connection. This will help rule firewalls and the load balancer for the cloud service.
