I googled and tried to come up with a solution. I have seen few tools on the internet too but they are not working properly with the latest Windows update too.

In the end, I manage to get it done and thought to share my step on my blog. Hereby, I modify the termsrv.dll file from the System32 folder to get it done. Continue reading “Enable Terminal Server/Multiple RDP Sessions on Windows 10” →
