Windows 10: RDP under Build 1607 killing running program on client, upon exit

Teamviewer is multi-platform and no having to run a DNS proxy. VNC is great if you are on the same LAN as that machine and need a lighter weight interface than Teamviewer is.

 

THANKS for the insight. Teamviewer seems to work very well so far. I did miss someone's comment about whether I was running RDP with "run as adminstrator" (or changing properties to select "Run as administrator" -- but my gut is telling me it's still going to stop the stream.

 

Running as Admin when you do not want to, can cause you issues if someone you allow to access and they go in and start deleting stuff.

I set Teamviewer up with my user account password when I was on the LAN or wanting to get into the desktop. Otherwise it was just the regular Random Password at the strongest setting.

It is not that everyone is hating on RDP. It is just outdated from Microsoft never catching up with the newer more secure methods like TV and VNC. Also when you do Cross-Platform remote connections, every OS has its own way of doing RDP and it is not always going to be bulletproof or work 100%. Plus RDP is so slow when compared to TV and how it handles Remote Connections.

 

True, true. Funny how it has helped for so long and BAM - broken. FYI -- running RDP as administrator made absolutely no difference; stream (audio) still crashed. As long as no one hacks my TV account, I'll probably stick with it. Would be nice if a licensed version didn't cost so much for a single individual!
