    How to toggle between local and remote desktop shortcut?


    Hello,I am testing the Windows remote desktop for the first time, and I thought there should be a straightforward way of toggling between the local and remote desktop.I found this article Remote Desktop Services Shortcut Keys - Win32 apps Microsoft LearnBut my computer is not behaving as described.For instance, When I am on the remote desktop Alt+Tab, cycles through the tabs of the remote desktop. From the article it looks as if it should cycle through the tabs of the Local desktop. The article describes a series of alternative shortcuts that would do the same for the remote desktop but none

    Okay guys need some help here before going crazy...
    I am trying to setup a remote desktop connection and see exactly what the logged on user is looking at with out going through Windows Remote Desktop.

    Since its local network I don't have any password or want to setup a password.

    Any suggestions are appreciated

  3. Enable Remote Desktop Toggle

    I am running Windows 10 Pro at work and home. I use a VPN to log onto the company network from home and then I use remote desktop to connect directly to my work computer. I have done this for years. But I have a different computer at work now and it seems
    to randomly toggle remote desktop off. If I forget to check it before I leave for the day/weekend then it will often not be able to connect. When I get back to work and check, "Enable Remote Desktop" is always toggled off.

    How can I stop this from happening?
