 So you have no input device...
I've not done so for a while, but at one time I was working with a lot of servers via RDP and used a 3rd party RDP Manager tool (not sure of the name exactly). That allowed me to setup a config file for each server including a username and password; the manager then completed the login. Maybe that would work for you?

Perhaps not what you are asking for but I use a small (2" x 6") wireless keyboard, about $10. Hey, for 10 bucks it even has a laser pointer. [^]
Not sure of brand. I have had a couple plus a different shaped one that works OK.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Yes I've seen these but it's just another thing I'd have to carry around - thanks anyway

Hi, the problem is the taskbar isn't visible when starting a RDP session

All the posts I've seen on this assume you are logged in to the remote box, I can't get past the login credentials dialogue as I can't enter anything - thanks anyway

Seems to me that I can click on "other options", enter stuff and tell it to remember my credentials. Then, it no longer asks.

It's a security feature.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

My thought was that you enter it with the keyboard, one time. Then, a click.
I thought that you could get to the VKeb'd after log in. I don't have a surface, but the keyboard for my iPad doesn't add much to carrying.

As I keep saying the keyboard isn't available

Not even once to set the credentials the first time? I guess you are SOL

I don't know what the Surface connection looks like, but on desktop - before making the connection - you can enter credentials.
RDP managers were mentioned above. I use one called "Terminals" that lets me organize the servers and workstations I remote to, & different credentials, & associate the two.
It does have a security option to require a password to open.
Became important when they took me away from programming and are trying to make an application admin out of me.
You don't want something else to carry, but what about a folio w/ keyboard as part of the cover?

Not sure if this would help, but I usually have my smart phone available.

Perhaps the keyboard's on a screen in Redmond ... buewhahahaha!
|

Does this only happen for Full Screen Connections? Have you tried making it a Windowed Connection, with height and width set to the available screen size, allowing for your Taskbar (like a normal maximized Windowed app).

I ran into this problem a while ago you need to launch the virtual keyboard before you start the RDP session.

Try mRemoteNG - the one stop shop for all your remote sessions - does RdP, SSH, VNC....
You can set up protocol, port, user & password locally.
If you prefer to stay with Microsoft you can use RDP Manager which also allows the user & pass to be preset locally.
