Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) does not pass credentials

My ARD connection to a local Mac running Tahoe (issue predated the upgrade) from Windows 11 connects fine but will not pass vault or connection specific credentials. Nothing happens. I must log in manually.

My work around is to use a typing macro to enter my password, but I cannot send an ENTER nor can I trigger automatically clicking on the continue arrow by the password field. I have to manually click the arrow.

How can I automate the authentication and connect directly to the Mac desktop?

RDM 2025.3.16.0

Apple RD from Windows - click and drag causes disconnect

My Apple Remote Desktop connection to my Mac used to work just fine, but recently there has been a change in behavior.

After successful connection if I attempt to click and drag something, the session disconnects and I have to authenticate back in with password or touching the fingerprint reader on the MacBook Air. This includes such things as: dragging a file or icon around the desktop, dragging a file to/from the Finder, or moving an element in a program. Clicking and moving window scrollbars or complete windows do not cause the problem.

If I anticipate needing to click and drag something I can move to the Mac and do it there, but when I return to my session in RDM the disconnect occurs anyway.

Again, this was not a problem previously and started recently so I suspect an update issue.

I am using the Free edition Version 2023.2.10.5, I have not yet attempted to roll back to previous versions.
