Windows 10: Default.rdp appeared and was accessed recently despite I'm using a remote desktop connection

I'm a windows 11 user. I have never used remote desktop connections before. Also no one else is using my computer. But when I was checking, I saw Default.rdp file in my documents folder which was created and modified 2 weeks ago. And when I go to properties of that file, it shows that the file has lastly accessed 5 minutes ago. What is this? Do someone have accessed my computer remotely or is it normal? Please advise.

remote desktop RDP

Hi, I've spent a whole day trying to be able to connect to a windows 10 home pc. I ticked the box in my computer properties remote tab that says allow remote connections to be made. There are no other options for me on this tab. I then discovered Windows 10 home does not allow remote desktop which was annoying. So after lots of research I discovered RDP wrapper. Installed it, run rdpcheck which doesn't accept my login. Everything is running in RDP wrapper configuration.. all green, listening, fully supported etc. I type remote desktop connection on the search bar and that program shows up. But I still can't access this windows home pc remotely. I've disabled, antivirus, windows local and external firewalls, everything I can think off that could be blocking it. Remote desktop client on my phone and other pc still fails to see this win home pc though. Any suggestions? Thanks in adv

 

Remote access to my (local) server's folders

Just use Remote Desktop...RDP into it with a Dynamic DNS. If you want to remotely access applications and just the app's without establishing some sort of connection via RDP or VNC your going to have to look at other types of alternatives.

 

Remote Desktop

RDP is easy to setup but you need access to the PC you want to RDP to so you can enable the feature. You need to have login credentials to initiate an RDP session according to the requirements for RDP.

Depending on if it is domain joined or not will also have a small effect...I'm assuming it is not domain joined in this situation.

RDP by default locks a user's session and starts a new one. IF you log in as that same user, you'll lock them out of their own session, thus taking over and seeing what they're looking at. They can also log back in and kick you out.

If you have administrative rights to the PC, you should be able to enable and connect using Microsoft Remote Assistance. I believe you can download MSRA from here, set it up and that will give you access similar to Teamviewer, VNC, ScreenConnect, LogMeIn, etc. where you are viewing the same session as the user physically at the console.

Otherwise, you might look at Teamviewer, VNC or Google Remote Desktop as alternatives.
