Accessing your PC remotely is something every tech enthusiast knows. We have covered this area many times before for different platforms. But with the big change in the operating system, Windows 10 this time, it needs a refresh. So let’s see what changed (or didn’t) in Windows 10.
The Basics: Remote Desktop Activation
By default, the remote desktop is turned off for security reasons. To activate it, go to Control Panel -> System and SecurityUnder System click on the title Allow remote access. In the currently opened window, tick Allow Remote Assistance connection to this computer check box and Allow remote connection to this computer checkbox is fine.
While Windows 10 Home users can adjust this setting, their PCs do not support incoming RDP connections. In layman’s terms you won’t be able to connect your PC remotely but the reverse is true.
If you want to set up unattended access, you will also need to configure Power Options. Go Control Panel -> Hardware & Sound -> Power Options. Click Change plan settings next to the plan you selected. In that change Put the computer to sleep ARRIVE Never. For multi-boot users, make sure that your PC starts Windows by default in case the PC restarts.
Connect to PC
To connect to a remote PC, just search for the Remote Desktop app. It’s the same as in Windows 8, enter the IP address or domain name of the PC you want to connect to and hit connect. There are more advanced options, to see them click SHOWHow is the option?.
If you often connect to multiple PCs, you can also save their custom settings in an RDP file. After entering the IP address or domain name, just press Connect to start the session. If you get an error related to your PC not being available, see the Troubleshooting section at the bottom of the post.
New Remote Desktop Preview App
In addition to the regular RD app, there’s another app for Remote Desktop, optimized for tablets/touchscreens. The Remote Desktop preview application can be installed from here. It borrows some design cues from the RDP apps for Android and iOS. All the same things as above except the UI design.
If you want to access your PC from outside of your Home network, you’ll need its external IP address or assign a domain name to it. Head over to our previous guide to see how.
Did you know: If you are using Microsoft’s RDP app for Android or iOS, it will support most of the new gestures available in Windows 10.
Remote Desktop Troubleshooting
If you’re having trouble using Remote Desktop, there are a few things you can try below. The most common error encountered is that the remote PC cannot be found.
Check if Remote Desktop is allowed in Firewall. Go Control Panel -> System and Security and below Windows Firewall click on the title Allow an application through Windows Firewall. In the next window, below allowed apps and features section, see if Remote desktop be activated.
If not, click Change settings button first, then on Allow other apps… at the bottom and tick the box for Remote desktop And Remote support Under Private column. Windows 10 Home users will not have these options available.
Also, check that you have an anti-virus program with a built-in firewall. In such a case, the anti-virus program’s own firewall may be blocking Remote Desktop.
Check if port 3389 is open and forwarded. If you are using a router, visit this website and see how to configure port triggering for your router.
Find the Port Enable or Port Forwarding setting on your Router’s settings page
Check if you have Windows 10 Pro or Home. This may be common sense but I’ve seen cases where people have refreshed their PC only to later realize they have a running instance of Windows Home.
If you are frequently disconnected or the session is slow and slow, try reducing the screen resolution of the remote computer you are accessing. You can find this setting by going to Display on the RDP application.
alternative choice
If you don’t like the default RDP client, there are some great alternatives you can try. Windows 10 Home users will only have to rely on these if they want to access their PC remotely. I use Team Viewer because it’s simple and gets the job done without any hassle. You don’t have to mess around with network settings, screen resolution, etc. Another application is Splashtop Remote Desktop, which has more features and options than Team Viewer, however many of its features are only available in the version. pay fees.
So that’s it, people. Including everything in Remote Desktop is beyond the scope of this article, but this should be enough for most users. Any other apps you use for Remote Desktop? Or face any problem while using the same? Visit our discussion forums and we’ll do our best to help you.
