How to Turn On and Use Remote Desktop on Windows 11



How Remote Desktop Works

You can use the Remote Desktop feature in Windows 11 to connect and access your computer using a remote access tool. After that, you can carry on simple tasks like checking downloads, app installations, or even copy files from your computer.

We recommend using the Remote Desktop only on your home network with the Network Level Authentication, which acts as a secure login layer at the network level. So you’ll need to use your Windows user account password to authenticate yourself on the network before you can access the remote computer.

Turn on Remote Desktop on Windows 11

To begin, click the “Start” button and select “Settings” from the pinned apps. Alternatively, press Windows+i on your keyboard to launch the Settings app quickly.


Choose “System” on the sidebar and select “Remote Desktop” from the right-hand side.


Toggle on the switch for “Remote Desktop.”


Select “Yes” on the User Account Control (UAC) prompt and click the “Confirm” button on the window that pops open.


Next, select the drop-down button next to the switch.


Check the box for “Require devices to use Network Level Authentication Connect (Recommended).” After enabling this option, you’ll need to add the Windows user account password of the remote PC to authenticate yourself on the local network. Only after successful authentication will you see the Windows login screen.


Select “Yes” on the UAC prompt and choose the “Confirm” button to enable that extra layer of security for using Remote Desktop


Use the Remote Desktop App to Access Your PC

You can try any free remote access tools to use your PC remotely, but only a few have a mobile app. We’ll demonstrate how to access Remote Desktop using Microsoft’s Remote Desktop app available on Windows, macOS, Android, iPhone, and iPad.

Open the Remote Desktop app and tap the plus (+) icon in the top-right corner.


Then, type in your PC Name and Windows user account details. Next, you may toggle on other options like “Clipboard,” “Microphone,” “Storage,” and others.


Hit “Save” in the top-right corner to finalize all changes.


After this, tap on the card with your PC name to start a remote desktop session.


That it! Keep in mind that you should disable Remote Desktop if you don’t plan to use it for a while.

Why Apple’s Logo Has a Bite Taken Out of It?

  Why Apple’s Logo Has a Bite Taken Out of It? If you take a look at Apple’s famous logo design, you might notice a curved piece missing. It’s a bite mark in the fruit—but why is it there? We’ll explain the history and meaning behind the bite. It Makes the Apple Shape Obvious To develop the company’s early branding, Apple Computer, Inc. hired the Regis McKenna ad agency in 1977 (with a relationship that  began in 1976 ). McKenna himself assigned the task of designing Apple’s logo to  Rob Janoff , a graphic designer who worked for the firm. According to a  2018 interview  with Forbes, Janoff described the unique thematic opportunity provided by the contrast between a machine and a natural piece of fruit. “I just wanted to make the computer easy and fun to be around,” he said, and he thought including the approachable image of an apple fruit was a must. While designing the Apple logo, Janoff created the iconic silhouette of an apple in a form very close to what we’re all familiar with to

  The 5 Best Free Cloud Storage Services There’s no shortage of great options if you’re looking for free  cloud storage . Plenty of companies will let you store several gigabytes in the cloud, and all you need to do is create an account. We’ve put together our five favorites. What Makes the Best Free Cloud Storage?   We’ve put together our picks in no particular order: all of them have something going for them, from Google Drive’s excellent suite of tools to Sync.com’s security features. In each case, we’ll go over what the allotment of free storage is and what extras there are on offer.  You may notice that  Dropbox  is missing from our list, this is because it only offers 2GB of free storage, which isn’t a whole lot. Also missing is  Apple’s iCloud , which is a little more generous at 5GB but is intended mainly for people who own Apple devices—Apple  only provides 1GB  if you don’t own an Apple device. As most other picks can be used on any device, we felt it was a little fairer.
