# RDP username of Entra ID client automatically changes on Windows 11
Fix the RDP username automatically switching to EntraID user on Windows 11 by setting a period as the domain in the RDP entry properties.
In the Microsoft implementation, if the RDP username does not contain ***“\”*** or ***“@”*** and has no explicit domain, it automatically switches to ***"EntraID\user"*** when the client joins Entra ID, regardless of what the target system is. This issue occurs on Windows 11.
### Solution
The solution is to set a period "." as the domain for the RDP connection entry. Follow these instructions:
1. In Remote Desktop Manager, right-click your RDP entry and select ***Properties***.
2. In the RDP entry properties, write a period "." inside the ***Domain*** field.
3. Save your changes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/knowledge-base/troubleshooting-articles/rdp-username-of-entra-id-client-automatically-changes-on-windows-11.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
