But Wait! Accessing Windows Remote Desktop Can Be Frustrating Sometimes

Having the capability to remotely access your desktop computers from your phone is a great tool. However, the steps above can be frustrating sometimes.

  1. Since we are talking about “remote access”, it means it depends heavily on connectivity. And when we say connectivity, we’re talking about Internet connectivity. Having said, you need to make sure that your Internet connection is stable and fast. Otherwise, you will get tired of the sluggish response on your remote computer;
  2. Smaller screen. You might not be able to do things remotely as efficiently as you wish if you’re using an Android phone with a small screen. Especially, when you have bigger fingers. It is advisable to use an Android device with a bigger screen display or even a tablet will do. Or you can use a pen if it is compatible with your Android device;
  3. Remote desktop with multiple screens. Yes, if your remote computer has an extended display – meaning you are using 2 monitors, then this can be a problem too. When you access your Windows 10 remote desktop, on your screen you will see 1 whole screen with half the screen of the other monitor. Weird, isn’t it? You can remotely configure your computer to use only one main display from the Settings.

That’s it, folks! We do hope this article can help you to access Windows 10 remote desktop from your Android phone. Actually, if Google Chrome remote desktop is working on the lower Windows OS version, then it should also work on your Android device!
