How to restrict kick-off during remote desktop connection on windows?

To restrict being kicked off during a remote desktop connection on Windows, ensure stable internet, adjust Remote Desktop timeout settings in Group Policy (Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services), and prevent other users from forcibly disconnecting your session by using user permissions or creating a dedicated RDP user account.
 
If someone else logs into the same PC remotely, it can kick you off — that’s just how standard Windows Remote Desktop works. To avoid that, you’ll need Windows Server or use a third-party tool like AnyDesk or TeamViewer. Regular Windows doesn’t support multiple active users at once. So yeah, either switch tools or upgrade the setup. No built-in fix on regular Windows.
