I ditched team viewer and have started using the native Win10 RDP which has a nice iPhone app. It works well on LAN but is it safe to port forward so I can use it from elsewhere?

My router supports DD-WRT so I could use that to run a VPN server but is it overkill? Or is there a better solution?

I want to control my PC remotely with the iOS Microsoft RDP client. Is it a bad idea to port forward? What precautions should I take?

For some reason my RDP has stopped working. I can't connect to my PC from the iOS RDP app on 4G but it will work if I'm connected to my local wireless network.

I've got ports forwarded and I've tried disabling the windows firewall.

Any ideas?

Are you doing a shutdown instead of just throwing it in to standby a lot? A shutdown on Windows 10 dumps a bunch of stuff in to the hibernation file and pulls from that during startup. I know coming out of hibernation can be a bit of a dog and if you're hitting that with a slowish platter disk it could cause problems. A restart does a full clean initialization without the hiberfil.sys and MS is pretty much depreciating shutdowns in favor of standby.

Could this be why I get unexplained 100% disk usage for 5 or 10 minutes when I open my laptop? I've tried just about everything to fix it.

Windows 10 totally hosed my wife’s laptop even after a fresh install. I think I ended up disabling hibernation to fix it. Who knows, I tried so many things. I should probably chuck an SSD in there as well.

Yeah, this is how I know SYSTEM is being the big lil bitch. I really can't figure this out, wtf is Windows doing to the drive and how do I stop it




My wife's laptop has had this issue for about 6 months even after a fresh install. I've totally given up on fixing it. :(

The disk cleanup changes suggests I shouldn’t be using the Downloads folder as a permanent storage location? Should I move my videos/etc out of there?
