XRDP only allows me to connect if I am logged in locally

I am using Kubuntu. Trying to use xRDP to remote on my school laptop from my main computer

I installed xRDP and have the service running. Set my xsession to start KDE plasma x11. I restarted my laptop and move it to the side. I try to connect to it via remote desktop on Windows 10. Connection fails. I grab my laptop and log in locally. I log in, and attempt remote connection again (even though I know I cannot be logged in remotely and locally, doing this for testing purposes). For some reason, I am able to actually connect now, but everything is a black screen (again, expected).

I close the remote connection and log out. I attempt the remote connection again, and it still fails. I do not understand what I am missing. I have been trying to do this one thing for 2 hours. I even tried this on Fedora KDE a couple months back with a seemingly similar issue. I am able to use my laptop to remote onto the windows PC, but I cannot get it to go the other way around no matter what I do. Any assistance would be wonderful! Thanks!

Edit: I found a workaround for now, but I still want to understand the issue. I created a dummy user, logged into that, and was able to log into my main user. I still do not understand why this issue is happening, but I at least have something that works. Any further help is still appreciated

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
