Is there a way to change the Remote Desktop Connection Time Out period. I use Windows 10 RDC App to log into Windows 2012 and 2016 Servers. If these are open, and I go back to my Windows 10 computer, they timeout within a few minutes and I have to reenter my password to go back to the RDC connection. Is there a way to increase this timeout period. It seems way too short.
📎 AI Summary:
The forum discussion centers on increasing the timeout period for Remote Desktop connections on Windows servers. The original poster inquires about extending the timeout duration for remote sessions to avoid frequent re-logins. Responders suggest configuring server settings via RDS role options, Group Policy Editor, or registry keys to keep sessions alive longer, with detailed directions provided. The overall tone is helpful and solution-oriented.

To prevent Remote Desktop Conenction from being timeout, I think there are 2 ways to keep RDP session alive. The first one is adjust the time limit in Group Policy Editor. The other one is add a registr key KeepAliveEnable. For the concrete steps, you can read this post Top 2 Ways to Keep RDP Session Alive I hope it can help you

The settings of RDP session timeouts are located in the following GPO section Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Link Removed Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Session Time Limits.
