    Hi,

    Instead of the normal remote connection between two computers running windows 10 (for example) professional operating system, the remote display experience is a developer tool used to remotely control UWP applications running on a Windows 10 IoT Core device.

    For more details like the limitation and step by step setup guidance, kindly check below link:
    View and control your Windows 10 IoT Core UWP applications remotely, from a Windows 10 desktop PC, tablet, or phone

    ----------

    Hope this helps and please help to accept as Answer if the response is useful.

    Thanks,
    Jenny
