  1. How to switch desktop if i'm using a remote desktop


    Hi, i'm so much love to use multiple desktops, but i did it on my laptop before. Everything was fine because i switch everything by touchpad 4 fingers slide. Now i got a PC and there is an issue. It switching fine by combination, but not worked with remote desktop connection. Looks like touchpads actions wasn't send to remote desktop and switching worked fine, but combination are sending. I don't need to switch desktops on my remote PC, but i would like to has this option on my local PC even if remote connection is open. Is there any option for that?

    :)

  3. remote desktop

    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.

    How to switch desktop if i'm using a remote desktop

    Best Remote Desktop Software

    I've used TightVnc for years with no complaints. We've switched at the office to RAdmin, its not free, but works every well, and has great response - better on servers, and desktops than remote desktop also more secure. Site has it listed as $49 USD, I've bought a copy for home use, and no I don't work for or have any stake in it, but thought it was worth the $$.
