TUTORIAL: No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept

Have you ever dread with this problem? Just today one of my co-employee called me because she cannot print on a printer hosted by a Windows 10 machine. This is likely going to happen if you are connecting to a non-server type computer like Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7 and even Windows XP.

This problem generally appears to computers that are hosting a shared drive, folder or printer.

The Problem
Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7 and even Windows XP can only accept 10 concurrent connections which is a limitation to a non server operating system other than the Microsoft Windows Servers.

DISCLAIMER
I tried to make it to 15 instead of 10 and it worked. I do not know if it is going to work if you make it to more than 15. I have this tested on a Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 10.

The Fix
Here's how to fix this problem

1. Click START -> RUN (for Windows XP), for Windows 10 right click Start menu then select Run, in Windows 7 just type "Regedit" in the search bar.
2. Type regedit
3. Go to \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
4. Look for cachedlogonscount
5. You should see a value that is equal to 10 in Windows XP, 7 and 10. Replace its value to your desired number of connection. I used 15 for this tutorial.
6. Restart your computer to make sure it will take effect.

That's it, it is done.
