2. Use multiple monitors in Windows 10 using Remote Desktop app

Remote support is an administration task that we perform frequently to support various management and control tasks and today it is normal for many users to have one or more monitors especially if we do this in a corporate environment where there are multiple servers and monitors are a vital part of controlling these environments. Thanks to the use of Remote Desktop, we will avoid infrastructure and travel expenses when we need management or equipment administration tasks. Even if we have the equipment in the office ourselves, we can manage the connection avoiding unnecessary displacement..

To be able to connect remotely in Windows 10, we use the remote desktop protocol (RDP) which optimizes the sessions to offer the best environment, but by default it does not activate the option of multiple monitors, but in this case TechnoWikis will explain how to enable and Use multiple monitors with the Windows 10 remote desktop.
