    Suddenly when using remote desktop on all of my windows 10 computers, it acts like control...


    I have 3 computers that I have logged into with remote desktop without issue in the recent past. Now, suddently, when I log in with remote desktop, it acts like the Control Key and possibly the Shift Key are stuck down. The sonar circle around the mouse keeps blinking even when the control key is not pressed. For example, if I select an icon on the desktop, and then click another, both stay highlighted. I use remote desktop daily and this just began happening a couple days ago. I checked Ease of Use settings, and everything is turned off for the keyboard. I cannot work remotely with this happening.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 - Remote Desktop

    Hi,

    We will surely assist you with the issue you are facing with Windows 10.
    - Which version of Windows 10 Operating System are you using?

    - Were you able to upgrade to Windows 10 successfully?

    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"
    • Find "Remote Desktop" in the list and make sure both "Private" and "Public" is checked.

    Let us know if this helps.

    Thank you.

    Remote Desktop, Windows 10, Need help with how to set up sharing

    You have to set remote desktop to allow remote connections. This is completely different from sharing settings and sharing files in Windows. You also need Windows 10 Professional on the computer you want to remote control. These settings are not in Windows 10 Home edition.

    Also, do not share your primary drive! This is a very bad idea.
