Remote Desktop Windows 10 Mstsc
Description Use the Microsoft Remote Desktop app to connect to a remote PC or virtual apps and desktops made available by your admin. The app helps you be productive no matter where you are. Getting Started Configure your PC for remote access first.
-->You can configure your PC for remote access with a few easy steps. On the device you want to connect to, select Start and then click the Settings icon on the left. Select the System group followed by the Remote Desktop item. Use the slider to enable Remote Desktop. Search for Remote Desktop from the list. It should be there by default. If it is not there, you should click on Allow another app button and navigate to the following: C: Windows System32 mstsc.exe. Allow Remote Desktop through firewall private or public; If you want to allow Remote Desktop on the local network only, check the checkbox labeled. But this does not actually seem to turn on the RDP option in Windows 10, in fact it seems to lock that setting to 'Off' with a message saying the setting is controlled by the organization (the one in the Settings App - Remote Desktop Settings ) and you cannot connect.

Remarks
Default.rdp is stored for each user as a hidden file in the user's Documents folder.
User created .rdp files are saved by default in the user's Documents folder, but can be saved anywhere.
To span across monitors, the monitors must use the same resolution and must be aligned horizontally (that is, side-by-side). There is currently no support for spanning multiple monitors vertically on the client system.
