Windows 10: Using RDP on two monitors... resizes when moved to one monitor

I have two monitors and use RDP. Everything works perfectly when maximized and used on two monitors. However, when I "move" my RDP session to one local monitor, the RDP resizes and squeezes the two RDP monitors onto one local monitor.... it should just slide over and keep the same RDP size.


It worked perfectly until I hit some hot button and changed the settings... don't know what I did or how to restore.

RDP session opens on wrong monitor

I also have a similar issue with RDP: I have a link that starts an RDP session full screen. In Windows 8.1 it remembered the monitor on which it openned (I have two monitors), on Windows 10, it always opens on the main monitor and I have to move it to the
second monitor.

 

Windows 10 Pro RDP Multi-Monitor Access

I have a Windows 10 Pro computer (Computer 1) running two monitors that operates correctly.

I would like to RDP from a Windows 10 Home laptop computer (Computer 2) into Computer 1 so that I can switch between the two monitors on Computer 1.

I've established the RDP session on Computer 2 with the box "Use all my monitors for the remote session" ticked. I'm not sure how you switch between monitors on Computer 1 but moving the mouse across the screen doesn't switch.

Either I'm not holding my mouth correctly or this is a limitation imposed because Computer 2 is running Windows 10 Home.

Can someone comment before I invest in an upgrade of Computer 2.

Thanks much.

Peter
