Remote Desktop not working after update from Win 8.0 to 8.1

I am also having this same problem.
The PC is a Dell Optiplex 3020. Windows 8 was installed from scratch and then Windows 8.1 update immediately following. The PC is a domain joined workstation to a Windows SBS 2008 domain.
The RDP port is open and responding. The RDP client will try to connect for a minute and time out. I have stopped the firewall service with no change.
I also cannot install .NET 3.5. Error is access is denied 0X80070005. I'm not sure if it's related, so I though I'd mention it.
Others have mentioned the fix for both is a system refresh.

I believe I fixed the RDP issue. I had to disjoin the PC from the domain as the group policy settings would not allow me to turn RDP off and on again. Login as a local admin and turn on RDP. Manually open the port in the firewall. Verify
that RDP was working and then join back to the domain.
