In Windows 10, during remote desktop operation (computer 1), the screen of the server (computer 2) defaults to the login screen. I would like to have both the client (computer 1) and the server screen (computer 2) to show the desktop of the server. Is this possible?

    Hi,

    If you use mstsc.exe for remote connection. Remote Desktop session shadow can meet your requirement.

    You can shadow from the Widnows 10 PC to the user console session which locally login to the server.

    Please refer to below link for detailed steps. You can regard your server as a windows 10 PC in this article.

    But if you think this is complex, you could also use third party tool TightVNC.
