Windows 10: Remote Desktop

recently I upgraded my work computer to windows 10 pro
just found if I want to connect to a remote computer on a port other than 3389, it doesn't let le me put : just like I can do
in previous version "server name/IP address: port number" comes up with error saying
"remote computer name is invalid" if I go ahead and click connect shows
"The computer name is blank or it contains invalid characters. Try typing it again.
Invalid characters include spaces, tabs, ;:<>*+=\|?," "
any idea or work around it......
thanks. *Mad

How do I Remote Control my Windows Phone 8 from my Windows 8 PC?

you are mixing a few things. windows RT can remote desktop into OTHER computers that SUPPORT remote desktop. you cannot remote desktop INTO a windows RT machine.

likewise, there is a remote desktop app for windows phone - but it only works to connect to computers that support remote desktop. not to remote into the phone.

 

Hi hjaffrey ans welcome to Tenforums.
You might want to have a look at this thread:

Windows 10 remote desktop issue - Windows 10 Forums

It's a little better approach. *Wink

 

I just tried it on my Win 10 Pro X64 system and it works the same as before.

computername:3390

connects fine. Can't be any spaces in the name or before or after the :

 

Are you using the Desktop remote desktop app, or the Universal App Remote Desktop? They work differently.

 

Hi ztruker
what build win 10 pro you have, I am trying on win 10 pro 32 bit build 10240
thanks

 

I'm on the latest, 10586.14 version 1511.

I didn't try it with 10240 so don't know if it worked there or not.

 

let me try to get same on my other computer
thanks I really appreciate your response

 

I figured it out, the port cannot be higher than 65535 and I was using higher number
thanks for the help

 

Case closed, good to know you got it solved.

For future reference, the port number can be changed in registry. Browse to following key:
Code: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp[/quote] Now change the value of the DWORD PortNumber to anything you want to / need to use, accepted values are from 1025 to 65535 (decimal), or 401 to ffff (hexadecimal):

 

Now change the value of the DWORD PortNumber to anything you want to / need to use, accepted values are from 1025 to 65535 (decimal), or 401 to ffff (hexadecimal):


[/quote] I know it already thanx anyway

 

Now change the value of the DWORD PortNumber to anything you want to / need to use, accepted values are from 1025 to 65535 (decimal), or 401 to ffff (hexadecimal):
Attachment 51417[/quote] That is to change the port of the RDP service, not the client.

 

FYI, this is a limitation of the TCP Sockets standard. It's a shame that IPv6 didn't address this, but it's really outside it's bounds.
