I want to reduce that time to 5 seconds. So when somebody tries to connect to my PC and I am away from my desktop, they do not take more than 5 seconds to log in.

This is what the OP is talking about

  • It is 30 sec for me, is it maybe a group policy created by the university where I work? I am administrator of the machine

  • @PimpJuiceIT you haven't understood what he is referring to. He's referring to a specific 30 second wait. See my pic

  • @barlop Okay, thanks for the edit and clarifying for the OP, I definitely didn't understand I suppose in the context of the question before your edit. Good job! May 1, 2020 at 1:48
  • @barlop I looked around at a bunch of other various answers and don't see much out there. I noticed you've hit some comments up on some, so I assume you're looking for a solution to this yourself. As a workaround I've used on Windows 10 although it's been a few versions back, I wrote about it here: superuser.com/questions/1008656/… .... I know there is debate on legality depending on your country, interpretation, etc. I can confirm it worked for me in the past allowing concurrent RDP session on Window 10. May 1, 2020 at 2:01
  • Nonetheless, you've spiked my interest in knowing of a real solution to that pop up and functionality. I think this may be a good question worthy of a new write up being detailed and specific more than other questions and being specific for the type of desired solution needed. I think that'd be more appropriate than bounty on existing question as if there's not much out there, it's waiting for a good write up I think. May 1, 2020 at 2:05

I think this only occurs when there is a active session already: see:

http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3205899/disable-wait-time-remote-desktop-connections.html

The only other settings I know of are the security settings; though they can be found using Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) there is a setting under :

Administrative Templates \ Windows components \ Remote desktop services \ Remote desktop session host \ Connections

  • I don't think there is such an option. If you think there is then please include a picture
