Windows Remote Desktop

A Windows 10 Pro feature that allows the user to take control of another workstation remotely over a network connection.

Windows Remote Desktop is a program that allows a user to remotely access a user account over a local-area network. It allows the user to view and interact with the Windows UI through an encrypted exchange. However, using RDP presents security vulnerabilities, so be careful when using it.

Using RDP requires either the IP address of the target computer, the computer's name (if it's on the local-area network), and the credentials to elevate your current user account into a Remote Desktop-approved account. You'll also make sure that the target computer is authorized to accept incoming remote connections.

When signing into a user account using Remote Desktop, the physical device itself that your accessing is signed out of the user account. Only one user session is allowed. To counter this, consider using Windows-Remote-Assistance.

Remote Desktop uses Port 3389. More info can be found here.
