Multiple users on remote desktop

Question

I allowed multiple users to log in to my PC via remote desktop connection.

If one user logged in and ran a simulation then logged out, the simulation is still running on the PC. If a second user logs in the PC, will the second user kick the first user out and terminate the running simulation?

If not terminate the simulation, will the second user be able to run another simulation giving the PC has sufficient memory and processor?

Hello,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community forum.

When you deploy a remote desktop environment, user sessions on the remote server are independent of each other. When a second user logs on to the server, the first user's session and any running processes (such as emulation) continue to run in the background. If the server has sufficient system resources such as memory, the second user login will not terminate the process that the first user is running. The two simulations share CPU, memory, and other system resources.

It is recommended that you first test in a non-production environment, monitoring the performance of the remote computer through the Task Manager or Performance Monitor in Windows to ensure that the system can handle multiple simulations simultaneously.

I hope this helps. If you have any follow-up questions, please contact us.

Best regards
