How to Keep My Home PC Locked While Remoting Into My Work Computer?
Asked by

I'm trying to figure out how to keep my home PC locked when I remote into my work computer. At my old job, they had a system in place that locked the office PC so nobody could see confidential info while I accessed it from home. I know this is possible, but I'm not sure how to set this up. Any suggestions?

You can try using Windows Remote Desktop if you have the Pro version. It has an option built in that keeps your local screen locked while you're connected. If that doesn't work for you, AnyDesk also offers a privacy mode that accomplishes the same thing. Just be careful not to expose your ports for security!

I’ve had good luck using AnyDesk for remote sessions. Their privacy mode features are pretty intuitive and effective for keeping your local screen safe while you’re remoting in.
UserFeedback10: Nice, I didn’t know that about AnyDesk! I might give that a try if I can't get Remote Desktop to work.
