Hi.

I hope to help.

If you are running Windows 10 version 1709 or later, the new way to enable and manage Remote Desktop is through the Configuration application. To check, click the Start button and select Settings (the gear icon in the lower left of the Start menu). Then, from
the Configuration window, select System and choose Remote Desktop from the list of options on the left.

Make sure your PC does not fall asleep when Remote Desktop is enabled (you cannot connect remotely if your PC is inactive or off) and allow it to be detected on your local network so you can connect without knowing the IP address of the remote PC.

However, keep in mind that Microsoft is slowly deleting legacy interfaces with each Windows 10 update, so it might be a good idea to get used to managing Remote Desktop in the Configuration application.

For those who are new to Remote Desktop: the steps described here must be performed on the PC to which you want to connect.
