Instead, you’ll find an error message saying “Your Home edition of Windows 10 doesn’t support Remote Desktop.” However, you won’t find these settings in Windows 10 Home or S editions. Windows 10 editions that officially support the RDP Server feature can turn it on from the user interface in the Windows Settings app or the Windows System dialog: Properties: Remote. Only connect to your RDP server through an encrypted network bridge, e.g. Configure a restrictive firewall to keep from being accessible from the internet. Only install an RDP server if you absolutely need one. There have been multiple security issues with Windows RDP servers in recent years. RDP is a common vector for compromising Windows systems. Here’s how you can also enable the RDP server in the Windows 10 Home edition.īefore you set up an RDP server, you should be aware that exposing an RDP server to the internet is incredibly risky. Enabling the remote desktop server normally requires a PC running either the Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise editions. Turn this on and you can see your GPU in task manager doing a little bit of work to encode the video, potentially saving the CPU from some effort.If you look closely at Windows 10 Home, you’ll find most of the components required to run the Microsoft RDP Server already installed as part of the operating system.
There is also another group policy to use your GPU to do the encoding, “Configure H.264/AVC hardware encoding for Remote Desktop connections”. By enabling the group policy “Prioritize H.264/AVC 444 graphics mode for Remote Desktop Connections” under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Remote Session Environment, I was able to get a glorious 60fps, almost double what I was getting before. In RDP 10 it turns out this can be massively improved by enabling a screen encoding based on AVC/H.264 video. One gripe of mine has always been the poor framerate which makes animations and transitions super janky by default. I am a great fan of Remote Desktop and have been using it for over a decade.
