Windows 10: Windows Remote services in one consolidated location?

Hello I feel this service has been slowly expanding rapidly as the years have gone by we now have so many different Remote services options that this has become a security risk, is there a way to consolidate all of Microsoft's Remote desktop options to one location with all of its variations inside of that location much like a control panel?


We have Group policy, Remote desktop options under my computer, Remote options under firewall, remote services, the list goes on and on, there is now even multiple options of the same thing under Group security policy settings, is there a way to consolidate all of this security settings in one location like a control panel for this?




























How many options does Remote services require now?


Is there a clear concise consolidate control for this yet? One location much like control panel that can control them all? It has gotten out of hand.
