Is it possible to have a virtual mouse or keyboard in Remote Desktop Windows Server independent from my mouse?

Question

Hi, I searched a lot for this but did not found any solution.

I'm testing it with a simple HTML/JS counter button when I click on that button, it increments from 1 to infinite number.

I know when I connect to RDP, it uses my mouse and keyboard as input (I hope I'm right), and I tried some ways like writing a python script or using auto clicker apps. But my issue is if I close the session or even minimize it, the click in the session does not either work and it stops because of having no input.

I even tried with on-screen keyboard to simulate, but it doesn't work either.

Is there anyway or any apps or even in any programming language a way to click some where or using a virtual keyboard in RDP and it still working after closing the session?

Hello @Saeed Fazlollahzadeh ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Here is a workaround, replace the current session with the console.

1. Execute query session to view the currently logged in session.
2. Execute tscon rdp-tcp#0 /dest:console.

rdp-tcp#0 is your RDP session.

After the two commands are executed, you will be disconnected, but the keyboard and mouse will work normally. In my test, SetCursorPos returns Ture normally.

Thank you.
