Using Windows Remote Desktop Client (mstsc.exe) we can log in and control our Windows PC from a remote device. After connecting via remote desktop connections to your PC, you can use another device and have access to all of your apps, files, and network resources as if you were sitting at your desk.
While connecting via Remote Desktop Client to your PC we get the option to save the Login Password of the connection for faster accessibility in the future but this features also creates an issue when the password of the Remote PC is changed, as the RDC tries to connect with the saved logins.
