How to disconnect from your Remote Desktop Session - Windows

  • Disconnect  (recommended )

    • Clicking the X in the top right corner of the remote desktop session window.

    • This closes the session but leaves all applications running.

  • Logoff – this logs you off your UT computer so that someone else could login
    • From your remote desktop session choose, Start > Logoff
    • All programs in the remote session will end and your session will close
  • Note:  Do not leave applications open with unsaved files overnight or for extended periods of time, because patching is periodically done overnight which sometimes requires a reboot of your computer and you could lose unsaved work.
