Use mstsc /l
to see what monitors Remote Desktop sees. Note the monitor numbers that you'd like to use for your remote session.
Find your RDP config file (usually C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Default.rdp
) and add these lines (if they don't exist). The main one is selected monitors
. Substitute 0,2,3
for the monitors you'd like to use based on the output of mstsc /l
.
