Windows 10: help with remote desktop camera access win10

Hi,

I have win10 home on my laptop. Laptop camera works fine. Setup privacy and policy as per web articles. Setup remote desktop to access camera. Also fiddled with firewalls on both sides. No matter what, when I rdp into my work computer WIN10 pro, the work computer can't see any camera. I tried plugging in a cheap USB camera, same problem.

I found a blog post on installing the windows policy editor on the home machine, ran through instructions on setting policy to allow video redirection. still doesn't work.

Any help greatly appreciated. I was told to get video conf working from home due to this covid thing.

Thanks

:)

 

Remote Desktop

Any suggestions are appreciated

 

Remote Desktop second window not accessible (Help!)

This is one of the strangest things and it started on Monday (or at least that's when I first noticed it).

When I try to remote into a machine and I give it the login name, normally it will pop up a window asking for the password. It's sort of doing that, but I can't see or access the window. The only way I can even see it is by mousing-over the icon in the taskbar. Like this:




I can't access it, click cancel, or escape it. The only way I can get rid of it is to "end task" on remote desktop via task manager.

Any suggestions?

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.
