SOLVED Missing 'Allow Remote Desktop' connection option

[Cuong Dang]

Hello,

When I opened up System and Security>System>Remote settings the remote tab only display the 'allow remote assistance' box and I do not see 'allow remote desktop' box.

Can you please help because I think someone is trying to get onto my PC and I cannot stop it.

Thank you,
Cuong

What version of Windows 10 do you have installed?
It needs to be Pro version or greater to support hosting a Remote Deskto Session. The "Home" version will not.
Right click the Start Button and select "System" from the context menu.

Thank you Trouble
I have Windows 10 Home (which explains that the option is not there for me)
Does this mean that no one can log onto my PC remotely as a desktop ? (just want to make sure)

It means that you're computer cannot host a remote desktop connection using remote desktop protocol and that is because it does not have the appropriate dynamic link libraries to do so.
So..... unless you install a third party software product, intended to support a remote connection, like.....
TeamViewer, LogMeIn, AnyDesk, etc.
You should be ok.
