    Keep Remote Desktop going if Host falls asleep


    Hi,

    I am using my home PC (Win 10) to connect to my headless Server (Win 2016) via Remote Desktop.

    If my home PC goes to sleep then my Remote Desktop session pauses and then resumes once my home PC wakes up.
    This is quite annoying especially if something is running on the server and then my home PC goes to sleep. I don't want to keep my home PC on all the time just to keep the remote desktop session alive. Is there a way to keep the remote desktop session alive whilst my home PC sleeps.

    The only solution to come to mind is to run TightVNC instead. Any other suggestions?

    :)

    Computer falling asleep

    Everytime i log onto my compuyer (windows 10 desktop) it shows the desktop background, loads up the files, then falls asleep. This is really annoying beciase i have been having another issue for a few months that makes it so i have to turn off my computer
    and turn it back on whenever it falls asleep. How do i make it stop falling asleep manually?

    Hi.

    My name is Ben

    I hope to help.

    If you are running Windows 10 version 1709 or later, the new way to enable and manage Remote Desktop is through the Configuration application. To check, click the Start button and select Settings (the gear icon in the lower left of the Start menu). Then, from
    the Configuration window, select System and choose Remote Desktop from the list of options on the left.

    Make sure your PC does not fall asleep when Remote Desktop is enabled (you cannot connect remotely if your PC is inactive or off) and allow it to be detected on your local network so you can connect without knowing the IP address of the remote PC.

    However, keep in mind that Microsoft is slowly deleting legacy interfaces with each Windows 10 update, so it might be a good idea to get used to managing Remote Desktop in the Configuration application.

    For those who are new to Remote Desktop: the steps described here must be performed on the PC to which you want to connect.
