Under the Remote Desktop part, you will view three options. Let’s see what each option serves you.

Don’t Allow Remote Connections to this Computer

If this option is selected then it will restrict the other users to get connected with your computer whether with the help of accessing Remote Desktop Connection or they try it employing the RemoteApp. The RemoteApp is the connections which when connected the users can access only an individual application.

Allow Remote Connections to this Computer

This option, if enabled will allow both the users to access either Remote Desktop Connections or RemoteApp. If you don’t know which type of remote connection the host is applying, you can go with this option by selecting it.

Allow Connections only from Computers Running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication

  • This option will ask for authentication while being connected to another computer. This option is being treated as the safest because you will be able to get connected with your known clients only.
  • Here you will select your required option followed by a click on Ok button. Now the others can get into your computer through Remote Desktop Connection and for the administrator level users they can get into by supplying the sign in credentials.

Love to play with Windows 11 and 10. Suggestion - Going for Registry change or system files edit then remember to take a backup or create a restore point before Starting.

  1. Maybe this will save someone else some frustration. I was trying to connect from Win10 to Win7 computer with Remote Desktop and it kept saying invalid login. Turns out I had changed the username on the Win7 system but it seems Remote Desktop requires the “original” username when logging in. So changing a username apparently doesn’t completely change all the account info. It cost a bit of time to figure this out.

  2. I am trying to link my computer name as a remote desktop but it won’t allow me because “I have another console session in progress.” I am the administrator and have closed all of my sessions, or so I thought.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    SK

    I forgot my windows 10 start up password and my pin number… what to do ?

  5. You can enable it on Win 10 home, Google scripts to enable RDP.

  6. Here is the easiet fix, I have found, to run remote desktop on Windows Home 10:

    1) Click on the search box, Cortana, or start search on the lower left of your desktop.

    2) Type cmd

    3) when the command prompt box opens, type mstsc

    4) The remote desktop will open. Click “show options” in the bottom left corner, then click “save as” and save to your desktop.

    Now you are all set to go, just like previous versions of Windows.

  7. Excellent article. I had just upgraded a PC to Windows 10 and couldn’t work out why remote access was being blocked, even though I had configured the device and users for remote access via the server dashboard. When I followed your article and added the relevant users via the ‘users’ button, it worked. Thank you.

  8. At this moment, I am attempting to help a friend 100 miles away with her system; she runs win 7 and I have win 10. I do indeed have remote desktop on this Windows 10 Home system. All I did was enter ‘remote desktop’ into the “Search the web and Windows” bar at the bottom left of the screen. It’s easy to use from this end but my friend is not computer literate and also has impaired vision. We’ll see how this works; otherwise, a roadtrip is on the horizon. I left win XP very reluctantly but am learning to (almost) love win 10.

  9. The remote Desktop feature is available only on Win10 pro edition or above…not on Win10 Home edition

  10. Mine either. I upgraded from 7 and have “remote assistance” but not “remote desktop”.
