If you want to set up unattended access you will also need to configure Power Options. Go to Control Panel -> Hardware & Sound -> Power Options. Click on Change plan settings next to your selected plan. In that change Put the computer to sleep to Never.

Connecting to a PC

If you want to access your PC from outside your Home network, you will need its external IP address or assign a domain name to it. Go through our previous guide to know how.
Did you know: If you are using Microsoft’s RDP app for Android or iOS, it supports most of the new gestures that are available in Windows 10.
Troubleshooting Remote Desktop
If you are having trouble using the Remote Desktop, you can try some of the few things below. The most common error encountered is remote PC not found.
Check if Remote Desktop is allowed in Firewall. Go to Control Panel -> System and Security and under the Windows Firewall heading click on Allow an app through Windows Firewall. In the subsequent window, under the Allowed appsand features section, see if Remote Desktop is enabled.
If it’s not, click on the Change settings button first, then on Allow another app… at the bottom and tick the box for Remote Desktop and Remote Assistance under the Private column. Windows 10 Home users will not have these options available to them.
Also check if you have an anti-virus which has built in firewall. In such a case the anti-virus’ private firewall may be blocking Remote Desktop.

Alternatives
If you don’t like the default RDP app, there are some great alternatives that you can try. Windows 10 Home users will have to rely on these only if they want to access their PCs remotely. I use Team Viewer because it’s simple and gets the job done without any complications. You don’t have to fiddle with network settings, display resolutions etc. Another app is Splashtop Remote Desktop, which has more features and options then Team Viewer, however many of its features are only available in the paid version.
