Windows 10: What are these entries in Remote Desktop Connection?

Over the past several weeks I've noticed a lot of "computers" which seem to be some typeof serial numbers. You can see these in the screenshot. What are these entries?

Remote Desktop Connection problems


Have you tried Remote Desktop Connection, to connect from your Windows 10 laptop to your Windows 7 desktop? Try it first, post back and tell how it went.

Some additional help because you mentioned you are a remote newbie *Wink. The windows 7 related tutorials from our sister site the Seven Forums:

1. On Windows 7 desktop, set network location to either Home or Work (I recommend Work):
   • Network Location - Set as Home, Work, or Public Network - Windows 7 Help Forums
2. On Windows 7 desktop, allow incoming remote connections:
   • Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) - Network - Windows 7 Help Forums
3. On Windows 7 desktop, find out its IP address:
   • IP Address - Locate and Find for Your Computer - Windows 7 Help Forums
4. On Windows 10 laptop, start the Remote Desktop application and connect to the Windows 7 desktop using the IP address from step 3 above (see Part Three in the tutorial):
   • RDC - Connect Remotely to your Windows 10 PC - Windows 10 Forums
   • Notice that although the tutorial is written for Windows 10, it also applies to Windows 7

Try the above, post back how it went.

Remote Desktop Connection jump list entries do nothing

I am unable to use jump list entries for Remote Desktop Connection. This includes both recent and pinned items. When I click on a jump list entry, I get the spinning blue circle for a fraction of a second and then nothing. If I open Remote Desktop Connection,
I can use the MRU entries from within the application. Here's a list of what I have tried so far:

• Clearing the entries by turning off "Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar"
• Deleting all recent entries from registry (suspecting one or more corrupt entries)
• Deleting all entries from C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations

Jump lists for all other applications that I have tried still work as designed. This issue started around the time that I installed the Anniversary Update, but I cannot tell for sure if that was the cause. Has anyone else run into this issue? Ideas?

Thanks for any help you can provide!
