Windows 10: Remote Desktop Troubles

When I work from home I tend to turn on my work laptop then connect to it from my home PC using remote desktop. I had this working well on my PC but I've just built a new PC. I would always log in on my laptop first, then when I connected from my PC it would already be logged in and away I go.I try exactly the same now on the new PC and I seem to be able to connect to it but when it does connect I just get the lock screen saying "Welcome Unlock your PC". But I can't do anything, can't click or press the keyboard to actually unlock it. It locks on the laptop and I have to go back to the laptop

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.

Remote Desktop troubles

For my work, I need to sometimes login remotely on a Windows Server. I searched for 'Remote Desktop' in the start menu. When I clicked the 'Remote Desktop Connection' my browser (SeaMonkey, version 2.46) was started. Now each time I close a tab in
the browser, and want to reopen it a window called ’Opening XYZRemoteDesktop.RDP' appears. When I select OK the session is started.



I saved the shortcut to the Remote Desktop to the other server to my desktop. When I click it my browser is again started, asking me what it should do. When I tell it to open it with 'Remote Desktop (default)', the connection is started.

• Why was my browser started, instead of the Remote Desktop session?
• What can I do so the default way of work, directly starting the session, works?

I post it in 'Desktop, Start & personalization' as I do not know where this topic should reside
