Very weird behavior from remote desktop app - see gif. Control panel settings shows that remote desktop is allowed but I still cannot connect.

I have the exact same issue and wish someone would actually address the toggle switch problem directly!
Anyone that asks this exact question is getting general UDP fixes for after 22H etc... which has nothing to due with the toggle switch issue.
As far as I can tell the one glaring issue I see between my computer it is working on and the one it is not is that the computer name is missing from the one that is not working. I mean in the Settings/RDP Menu below the toggle switch it should state the computer name, but it is missing. On my computer RDP is working on the computer name is present in that area.
I have two identical computers I9-9900K Processors 64GB/96GB RAM, RTX-2080 Super/RTX-3070ti. Both are using MSI Z390 MEG ACE MB's with Windows 11 Pro.
One is running 3x500GB Samsung EVO 970 Plus in hardware (MB) Raid 0 the other is running an EVO 970 Plus 2TB.
The one that was my Windows Insider machine for years I was just finally able to get released from it in the latest major update. I'm fairly sure, but it probably was 22H. Remote desktop works fine on that computer.
The 2nd computer has been running Windows 10/11 Pro from the start via a retail license. Remote Desktop worked perfectly until the 22H update.
I have attempted every group policy & regedit fix out there and have yet to be able to fix this. I use to use my MacBook Pro to remote into both computers. I currently run the one RDP works on headless and use that one I can't remote into to RDP into it. But, this leaves me unable to remote into my main computer from my Mac using MS's RDP app...

I am in the same boat as SK. Tried all manner of workarounds. No joy. Oddly, Remote Desktop is enabled in the Control Panel, Security, but I cannot toggle RD on in Settings. It just stays Off and I can no longer remote into my PC. Beyond frustrating!

No Answer from me - I have the same problem.
I wonder if its an InTune setting - as all my devices this toggle wont switch. Yet, all devices signed in to basic AAD the toggle works.
FIXED
Change your network firewall in network settings from public to private then the remote desktop toggle will work :)

What if this does not work, anything more I can try?
I do have the exact same issue with all machines that are enrolled to InTune. Could this be a direction to search for that ?
Private connection : not working
UDP : not working

I got the same issue for a few weeks now.
Solutions here didn't help. RDP settings are enabled in the old settings window, but, as in the earlier screenshot, in the settings app, I can't enable it.
A coworker has the same issue, and our devices are also enrolled into InTune.

This did not help. My network was already private/
My device was setup with the Firewall enabled for all profiles (Domain/Private/Public) The domain profile was active as this is a Hybrid-joined device. I pushed out a policy that turned off the Firewall for all profiles. Synced the device, and the toggle button stuck. I then re-enabled the firewall and the connection disconnected and the toggle button went back to off. I have RDP enabled as an inbound rule, but it makes no difference. I even went as far as enabling all inbound connections by default. It still stays off. The only way I can get it to work is to disable the firewall for the Domain Profile. Interestingly, my Entra-Joined devices works perfectly with the Public Profile and the same Firewall policy applied.
The above image is an Entra-Joined device with the same Firewall policy applied.
The image below is a hybrid-joined device:
Now when I turn off the Firewall, this same device now works:
I so not have the time currently to go through each setting in my Firewall policy, but this is what they are, maybe someone else can figure out which one is causing this issue.
As I said earlier, this policy does not affect an Entra-Joined device using the Public Profiles, and the settings here are basically the same as the Domain and Private ones, so I am a little baffled.
FIXED.......

Nonsense we are well past checking to see if our network is set to private!

Even after switching from public to private the toggle still doesn't want to swith to ON. Very frustrating since I was using my laptop with Windows 11 as work station and remotely connected to it and now I am just blocked.

Hi. Thank you for your question and reaching out. I’d be more than happy to help you with your query
Disable UDP in Group Policy.
Press Windows + R, type gpedit.msc, and then click OK.
On the left pane, navigate to the path below:
Computer Configuration > Administration Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Connection Client
On the right pane, double-click Turn Off UDP On Client.
Lastly, click OK after selecting the Enabled radio choice.
If the Windows 11 Remote Desktop capability stops working after the 2022 update, this is another fantastic option. The UDP client should now be totally deactivated, allowing your Computer to connect.
If the reply was helpful, please don’t forget to upvote or accept as answer, thank you.
Thanks for tip. I have tried to change group policy, but there is no change in settings - buttons still toggle off imidiately.
It seem like remote dekstop is still enabled in control panel in, but it is still imposible for me to join.
This is not an answer to the problem that is posed... Most of us that have this issue have already attempting these types of fixes, but they do not effect the toggle switch not working properly.
None of these worked for me.

I solved this issue by resetting my Dell XPS8950 to factory/default settings. Oddly, doing so installed a newer build (22621.1992) of Windows 11 Pro 22H2 than the one I downloaded from Microsoft (Build 22621.1928) when I tried to do an in-place repair upgrade of Windows 11. In any event, the 1992 build solved all problems and I didn't need to muck about with UDP settings or the registry. I'm going to have to re-install some software, but it's nice to be able to remote into my machine again. Hope this helps.

Ddq I'm not in the position that my particular non-RDP machine to take such a drastic step!
Paul C. What are you new? Once again someone piping in with some nonsense. You think we left or set our ethernet settings to public after we tried every reg hack that has been forwarded along to us?
PS I've seen three major updates and still no Joy. I am pretty damn sure it has something to do with the comp name not showing up in the RDP sharing window...
@Sean Keone Harrison I'm merely stating my actual experience.
I have tested extensively on 3 machines. All 3 enrolled into AAD - 2 of these machines are also enrolled in inTune.
Hope tis helps...
