I leave my computer on at home so I can remote desktop into it when I'm out at work or in the library.

Recently after upgading to Windows 7 Pro, I'm seeing this problem. The remote desktop works when I'm out, but when I get home, my computer's unaccessible. Both my monitors (i run a dual monitor set up) are on standby mode, and nothing displays. I tried switching my monitors off and on, but it jumps straight into standby mode. I tried ctrl+alt+del, but that does nothing. I then tried using my laptop to remote desktop into it, and it is fine. So my computer did not crash or blue screen.

If I did not start a remote desktop session at all, then I can log back into my local machine fine after I get home. This only happens if I initiate a remote desktop session at least once.

The only workaround I have is to press my computer's power button to put it on suspend mode, then wake it up.

Did anyone see this problem before? If so, do you know why this is happening?

Windows Update: Sometimes, Windows updates can also introduce compatibility issues that can affect the behavior of the system. To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps: 1. Update Graphics Drivers: Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. You can check the manufacturer's website for the latest drivers and install them. 2. Adjust Power Management Settings: Go to the Control Panel and check the power management settings, especially those related to display and sleep modes. Make sure they are configured correctly. 3. Remote Desktop Settings: Check the Remote Desktop settings, particularly those related to display settings and multiple monitors, to ensure they are configured appropriately. 4. Windows Updates: Ensure that your Windows 7 Pro computer is up to date with the latest Windows updates. Sometimes, installing the latest updates can resolve compatibility issues. By investigating these areas and making the necessary adjustments, you may be able to resolve the issue of your computer being inaccessible locally after using Remote Desktop. If the problem persists, you can also seek further assistance from the Windows community or Microsoft support for more in-depth troubleshooting.
