    Hi,

    Option one: using the GUI

    (1) Download the .rdp connection file from the portal

    Using command the utility mstsc

    The remote connection tool is a small utility which can be execute directly using the command: mstsc

    You have much more control and many more options if you are using the command line or execute the utility from command shell.

    You can get more information on how to use it and the parameters and features available for you in the following documentation

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mstsc

    basically in order to use multiple screens you can use the parameter /span
