    Booting Remote PC using Remote Desktop?


    I have a remote PC (W10 Pro) and it is connected to my local house network by WiFi. It controls some equipment in a remote shed, and normally does not have a monitor/keyboard or mouse connected to it. I would like to switch it on in the shed (possibly using an internet mains switch), return to the house, and control it via remote desktop from the house PC (W10 Pro, ver 1909) over WiFi network link. If I connect a monitor/keyboard/mouse to the remote computer, it boots up but I have to enter a password to complete the boot into windows. I can then go to the house and take control of it by remote desktop. I would like to just switch on the remote PC (with no monitor/kbd/mouse), go to the house and connect by remote desktop to control it. However, when I try it without peripherals I think its hanging at the password entry because the house PC will not connect to the remote PC using remote desktop, and it does not appear in the network list. Is there a way of booting the remote PC (with no monitor/kbd/mouse) into windows by power on only, without any user intervention, so I can then control it via remote desktop from the house PC?

    :)

    Hello,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    Please help me with the below details to understand your issue in a better way:



    1. Are you using the Microsoft remote desktop app?


    If you are using the Microsoft remote desktop app downloaded from
    Microsoft store then, I suggest you to follow the steps to
    fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store
    .



    If the issue still persists with the Microsoft remote desktop app, then you can contact the support team by going to the

    link
    and scrolling down to the bottom and clicking on
    Microsoft remote desktop support under the Publisher info.



    However, if you are using the Remote desktop connection, which comes pre-installed with Windows 10, then I suggest you to please post your question in the
    TechNet forum.



    Hope it helps.

    Booting Remote PC using Remote Desktop?

    Remote Desktop

    I am trying to use the Remote Desktop but could not make it work. I tried the instructions :


    • First, you'll need to set up the remote PC to allow remote connections. On the remote PC, open Settings and select System > About. Note the PC name. You'll need this later. Then, under Related settings, select System
      info.

    • In the left pane of the System window, select Advanced system settings.

    • On the Remote tab of the System Properties dialog box, under Remote Desktop, select Allow remote connections to this computer, and then select OK.

    • but the Remote Desktop option still does not appear on my PC. Any advice?
