is a simple and reliable solution to seamlessly send commands and for all your remote management.
On Windows systems, Ctrl+Alt+Del is a key combination that is critical for security purposes. When pressed together on the local machine, these three keys open the Security Options screen. This menu in turn allows users to lock their computer, switch users or access the Task Manager. However, when working with a remote desktop session, sending Ctrl+Alt+Del can pose a challenge due to the interaction between the local and remote machines. It quite simply opens the menu options or Task Manager of the local machine. Yet, here, our aim is to access the remote menu or Task Manager.
The on-screen keyboard approach, a popular method, is to use the On-Screen Keyboard of the remote device. Of course you have to previously enable remote connections and create a remote user.
Once you have opened the remote session, the utility for this method can be accessed by following these steps:
The Ctrl+Alt+End shortcut is another method. It consists in using the Ctrl+Alt+End key- combination instead. This emulates the “Ctrl+Alt+Del” command within a remote desktop session.
Note there is another possibility within this method if you have a part-size keyboard or small laptop (There, End is not on the right-hand 1 key since the number-pad is absent. It is often by the arrows in that case.). It is to use the Fn key in combination with Del. This two-key pair generally still sends the “Ctrl+Alt+Del” command to remote Terminal Servers. Follow these steps once you have set- up a remote connection and that the remote session is active:
