  1. Remote Access to a system with two monitors - Windows 10


    I've seen plenty of answers for similar questions, but not for this exact situation. I have a remote system that I want to access. The remote system has TWO monitors. The local system I am using to access that system only has ONE monitor. When I use Remote Desktop Connection to access that remote system I only see one monitor screen of course. How do I switch to see what's on the second monitor? It's either incredibly simple or isn't possible. All the answers I've seen have to do with a two monitor local machine accessing a one monitor remote machine. I don't want to have to use a 3rd p

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Remote Access

    1. Follow these steps to disallow remote access to your PC completely:
    2. 1. Type “remote settings” into the Cortana search box. Select “Allow remote access to your computer”. This may seem counter-intuitive, but this opens the Control panel
      dialog for Remote System Properties.
    3. 2. Check “Don't Allow Remote Connections” to this Computer. You've now disabled remote access to your computer.

    Try these two steps and tell us if your issue gets solved. If it does not then your PC may be infected. Use a Good antivirus to remove the infection from your device completely.
