Use a windows 11 machine as an multipoint server

Question

Hi. I have a personal computer with consumer components which has a windows 11 OS (named PC "A"). I installed the Multipoint Connector feature on this OS, and want to split the PC with another user/client PC located on same LAN (via wireless) that has windows 10 OS (named PC "B") also with Multipoint Connector features installed.

Can I somehow connect to pc "A" with another user from pc "B"?

PC "A" is windows 11 pro version 22h2, OS build 22621.1105, Windows Experience Pack 1000.22638.1000.0

PC "B" is windows 10 pro version 22h2, OS build 19045.2364, Windows Experience Pack 120.2212.4190.0

What have I tried till now:

1. trying to connect from pc "B" to pc "A" using Multipoint Manager. It can see the pc "A" but returns error "Unable to connect" Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002.
2. I have only one video card gtx 960; connected a second monitor and a second keyboard. - doesn't see it as a potential second station

Thank you

Hi,

Unfortunately you cannot do what you are intending. Windows 10/11 does not support having multiple users sharing the same machine simultaneously, each with their own active GUI session. Exception to this is Windows 10/11 Enterprise multi-session, which runs in Azure as part of the Azure Virtual Desktop service.

The Multipoint Connector is for the case where you have a Multipoint Server and want to use a Windows 10/11 PC as one of the stations that connect.
