How can I see the window of an app that shows on the second screen of my multi-monitor set-up when I remote in from another computer?
For example:
...on my laptop:
cmd: mstsc /span
rdc display configuration: Full Screen + Use all of my monitors for the remote session
...on the remote computer:
Open GitGUI or FileZilla for example.
Task bar shows application open.
The hover preview shows the app is open.
I can't see the app window on my screen (can't interact with it).
Nothing I do brings the app to a window I can use.
Anyone else come across this problem?
Thanks
Figured it out. Using the Windows key plus the right/left arrows, I can move windows from desktop to desktop.

I'm new to PostgreSQL, just installed it along with pgAdmin4. After installation when I clicked on the pgAdmin4 it start in the browser of IE. But I want that in my chrome browser so I searched for it. Most of the people have mentioned or shared a picture of pgAdmin 4 configuration like this.
They mentioned it like right click the icon in the Windows System Tray and select Configure but the pgAdmin is not showing in the system tray of window 8.1. Or may be I'm misunderstanding about the system tray. Because in windows 8.1 pgAdmin 4 directly opens in browser.
The browser issues is fixed by change by default browser to chrome but I'm still unable to find this configuration setting. Can anyone help me to understand or get this screen?
pgAdmin 4 is a web server, so when you click pgAdmin 4 on the start menu, it starts the web server in the background, then opens a browser to connect to it.
The web server running in the background should have added a small icon to the system tray in the lower right corner.
On my Window 7 it looks like this:
I'm happily using x2go to connect to a remote Ubuntu Server 16.04 with XFCE installed from my local pc with a local resolution of 1920x1080 on a HiDPI screen (13''). If I run the x2go client from a virtualized Linux (Linux Mint 18.03 with XFCE), everything works well and I can see a really sharp image of the remote desktop. Problem is, when I try to connect directly from Windows 10 the image is blurred and the resolution is wrong. I tried to play around with the x2go client settings but no way, the image is always terrible. I also tried to use PyHoca and different X-servers but the result is the same.
Is it a well-known problem? Any suggestion on how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
I had a very similar problem: A Dell laptop with an Nvidia graphics card, having a resolution of the built-in flat panel of 1280x800. I connected this to an external screen with HDMI with a resolution of 1920x1080. However, X2Go seemed to pick up the resolution of the built-in screen instead of the actual screen, making everything seem blurry (interpolating 1280x800 to 1920x1080).
This is what fixed it for me: Navigate to the C:\Program Files (x86)\X2GoClient\VcXSrv\ directory in Explorer. Select the vcxsrv.exe file and right-click it, choosing Properties from the popup menu. Go to the Compatibility tab, and in the Settings section there, select the option "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" and then select "Application" in the combo-box below.
Restart the X2Go Client to have its X server start with this new setting.
This fix also solved X2Go Windows Client crashes in my setup.
I have basically the same scenario: connecting from a high DPI Windows laptop to KDE on Debian, in my case for Desktop Sharing. The client would connect okay, but display only a portion of the remote host's screen.
Keyboard shortcuts would not scroll the client window.
Any attempt to show more (maximize, go full screen, click-and-drag client window border) would seem to work for a second, then crash.
The Compatibility scaling change fixed the instability - no more crashes, yay! - but did lead to slow repaints as noted by Algeboy.
Upgrading to a newer version of VcXsrv also did not resolve the crashes - Compatibility change still required, but screen repaints are quicker.
To upgrade, download and install the latest VcXsrv in its own directory. Using Explorer or whathaveyou, apply the HiDPI setting to vcxsrv,exe.
Start x2go client but don't start a session. Click Options, Settings, then X.Org Server settings tab. Select "use custom x server". Point to the newly installed vcxsrv.exe and click okay. Restart the x2go client.
This apparently takes the version from 1.20.6.0 supplied by x2go to 1.20.14.0 (2022-04).
Screen refreshes are quicker if I minimize all applications on the host, allowing it to repaint the desktop, then restore whatever I want to work on.
Is it possible to use the surface pro 3 as a dev test device. I tried looking around and there wasn't much information. What I mean by this is you connect your pro 3 to PC and deploy app to the tablet. My guesses are that you cannot but I thought I would get some clarification.
Thanks!
Yes it is possible you have to install remote debugging companents on your Surface Pro 3. And the appropriate one should be x64 version of VS Update 3 for you.
After you have installed the Remote Tools, choose Remote Debugger on the Start screen. The Remote Debugging Configuration appears the first time that you start the remote debugger.
On the Remote Debugging Configuration dialog box:
If the Windows Web Services API is not installed, choose Install
In the Configure Windows Firewall group, choose the networks that you want to allow connections to. Only those networks that the device is currently connected to are enabled. You must choose at least one network.
Choose Configure remote debugging to set the firewall options and start the remote debugger. Open the Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor dialog box to give users permissions to the remote tools and to set other advanced options.
The Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor dialog box appears. You can give users permissions to the remote tools and set other advanced option from this dialog box. Here you can find information you need.
Choosing the remote device for C# and VB Project:
Select the project name in Solution Explorer and then choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
Select Debug.
Choose Remote Machine from the Target Device list.
Enter the network name of the remote device in the Remote Machine box or choose Find to choose the device from the Select Remote Debugger Connection dialog box.
You start, stop, and navigate a remote debug session the same way you do a local session. Before you start debugging, make sure the Remote Debugging Monitor is running on the remote device.
Then choose Start Debugging on the Debug menu (Keyboard: F5). The project is recompiled, then deployed to and started on the remote device. The debugger suspends execution at breakpoints, and you can step into, over, and out of your code. Choose Stop Debugging to end your debug session and close the remote app.

I'm building my own Windows CE 6.0 image (NK.bin) and after Windows has been loaded is the screen just black. When i attach a USB to the USB slave port on the device the window saying "USB client Status" shows up and the mouse is visible and i can control it together with the keyboard.
However, I'm stuck at this. I been reading a similar post to remove all settings in project properties according to stackoverflow-post, without any result. I can't connect to the screen with "Windows CE Remote Zoom-in", but can connect with Remote Register and Remote Process.
Any clue?
I added explorer.exe to HKLM/init but the problem was that explorer was not included in the build. I had to choose the "standard" shell to include explorer, when i actually wanted the "thin client shell". This is still an issue to get some features from them both but at least this problem is solved and I can move on to next ;) Thanks again.
I have installed tightvncserver on my ubuntu system. I know that using a vnc viewer I can control this machine from a remote machine. But I don't want to control this machine remotely. I just want to view what is going on here on the viewer window on a remote machine. e.g. If I open firefox on my machine (in which I've installed tightvncserver), someone else on a remote machine having vnc viewer installed should just be able to see firefox opening in his vnc viewer window. Similarly when I close firefox and open some other application, the same should be visible on the viewer window. Is it possible through VNC?
You can run tightvncserver with the -viewonly Argument.
tightvncserver is a wrapper for xVNC and Takes xVNC Arguments. the viewonly Argument is probably what you're looking for.
