Windows 10: remote desktop

I am trying to access my work desktop computer from home but none of the online tutorials help. They all say just find the IP4 address and type that in but that only works when i am connected to the wifi network at work. I'm pretty sure i need to find the router port number my computer is attached to but nowhere describes how to do this and just tells me it should be default but there is lots of computers on our network so there is no way i am on the default port for my network router? can anyone help?

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.

Hi,

We will surely assist you with the issue you are facing with Windows 10.

I suggest you to refer the below steps and see if this helps.

  Enable remote desktop in settings
  
  • Control Panel\System and Security\System, Click "Remote Settings" on the left side
• 
  Verify my port forwarding settings were properly forwarding to my computers local IP address
  
  • run "cmd.exe" and then type "ipconfig". Find your IP from that list

[*]

• Make sure your firewall settings are open
• Go to "Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Firewall\Allowed apps"

• On the left, click "Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall"
• Click "Change Settings"
