[QUOTE="patrick85, post: 1076714, member: 94558"] Well regarding this I heard that even if you have windows home edition hackers can install remote desktop capability hiddenly and use it even on win home editions. In fact I wonder how it really is with the remote desktop on home and pro edition as even now on win 11 home I can see this windows and when I put in some address and hit connect it tries to connect. [ATTACH type="full" width="596px" alt="rmtConnSettings.png"]281744[/ATTACH] Thank you regarding group policy configurations I personally use windows hard configurator even on my win 11 home edition and I would use it on win 11 pro edition as well and given the policies you can configure on pro compared to home edition I think it could be even better security wise.
