iOS11 and Windows Login

Hi.
Since updating my iOS devices to version 11.0.2, I'm not able to login to my Windows machine anymore.
Here's what I've monitored so far:
- After connecting successfully to my Windows machine, I enter my passwort. Windows says "wrong password". This happens both on my iPhone 6s and my iPad Air2.
- Login works perfect on other iOS devices still runing iOS10 and when using another PC with TV12.
- After connecting and login via PC I also connected via iPad. Now I entered the password in a text editor, first on the PC then on the iPad. I compared the ASCII codes: both passwords are identical.
- Login also works when entering the password via Windows onscreen touch keyboard while connecting with an iOS device running iOS11.
- I also tried entering the password in the username textbox to see the characters, but again, the password looks fine.
Additional infos:
- Windows and iOS devices are running german keyboard layout.
- Password (of course ;-) ) contains special characters.
- When you connect via iOS, the Windows language option doesn't accidentally switch. To asure that, I also switched back and forth manually.
I don't know what's wrong, but it clearly seems to be a bug regarding TV under iOS11.
Any ideas?

Is there no solution to this?
I have exactly the same problem, iPhone and iPad Pro won’t login as it says the windows password is incorrect when I know it has been entered correctly?
Works fine on other devices but this renders the app useless.0 -
I'm currently in touch with the TeamViewer support and they're analyzing the problem.
What I was able to discover so far, is that (at least in my case) it's not working because my password contains double quotes.1 -
Interesting, my password also has “ in it, I guess I’ll just change my password for now as a workaround!
Thanks for the info.1
