I'm working with a Windows RDP on an AWS EC2 instance, but the process is really cumbersome. Every time I need to access it, I have to delete the previous RDP file, start the instance, download a new RDP file, add it to my private key, and retrieve the password. Once I finish my work, I stop the instance and delete the RDP file, then repeat the whole process when I need to use it again. Is there a way to speed this up or make it easier? I want to avoid keeping the instance running to save on costs.

Have you considered checking your permissions or whether you can tweak the workflow? It might help to know what you’re using RDP for. If it's for temporary access, you could look into using a bastion host to streamline the process, assuming that's an option for you.
I primarily use Windows RDP for client work.
