Going Full Screen in Remote Access

If the PC you are connecting to is the Windows 10 operating system, the remote desktop connection will not start in Full Screen mode. To make the connection full screen, press the Ctrl+Alt+Pause/Break keys together. 


Many newer devices, laptops in particular, no longer have a Pause/Break key.  Other key combinations are used to provide that function.  Please see the list below for the different key combinations to expand your Remote Screen.

Different combinations work for different computer brands.

Click on the remote screen making sure it is your active window, then attempt one of the following combinations:
