Step 1 — Open Command Prompt as Administrator

Press Win + R, type cmd, then press Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Click “Yes” in the UAC prompt to grant administrator privileges.

Step 2 — Launch the connection with your desired parameters

Type the command below, replacing the IP address and port with your server’s details:

mstsc /v:192.168.1.50:3389 /f /w:1920 /h:1080

/v: — server IP address and port   |   /f — full screen mode   |   /w: and /h: — session resolution

Step 3 — Save the configuration as a reusable .rdp file

To avoid retyping the command every time, export the configuration:

mstsc /v:192.168.1.50 /f /edit my-office-server.rdp

The generated .rdp file can be opened later with a double-click, without typing any command.

Step 4 — Create a desktop shortcut for instant access

Right-click on the desktop → New → Shortcut. In the location field, enter the full path to the saved .rdp file. Next time, a double-click is all you need.

Step 5 — Verify the RDP port is not blocked before connecting

Open PowerShell and run:

Test-NetConnection -ComputerName 192.168.1.50 -Port 3389

If TcpTestSucceeded returns True, the port is reachable and the connection should work.

Tip: Add the /multimon parameter to your command if you work with multiple monitors — the RDP session will recognize all of them automatically.
