How can I enable 2 user RDP sessions at the same time in Windows 11?

By default, Windows 11 allows only one Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) session at a time. However, you can enable multiple RDP sessions by following these steps:

1. Enable Remote Desktop on the target Windows 11 computer:

   a. Right-click on the Start button and select "System."

   b. Click on "Remote Desktop" in the left panel.

   c. Toggle the "Enable Remote Desktop" switch to "On." d. Confirm your selection when prompted.
   
   

2. Edit the Group Policy:

   a. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.

   b. Type gpedit.msc and press Enter to open the Local Group Policy Editor.

   c. Navigate to the following path:

    

   Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections

   d. Double-click on "Limit number of connections" in the right panel.

   e. Select "Enabled" and set the "RD Maximum Connections allowed" value to the desired number (e.g., 2 for two users).

   f. Click "Apply" and then "OK."
   
   

3. Edit the registry:

   a. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
   b. Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
   c. Navigate to the following path:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server

   d. Double-click on the "fSingleSessionPerUser" DWORD value in the right panel. If it doesn't exist, create it by right-clicking on an empty space, selecting "New" > "DWORD (32-bit) Value," and naming it "fSingleSessionPerUser."
   e. Set the "Value data" to 0 and click "OK."
   f. Close the Registry Editor.
   
   

4. Restart the Remote Desktop Services:

   a. Press Win + X and select "Windows Terminal (Admin)" or "Command Prompt (Admin)" to open an elevated command prompt.
   b. Type the following commands, pressing Enter after each one:

   net stop termservice

   net start termservice

   c. Close the command prompt.

Now, you should be able to allow two users to connect via RDP at the same time on the target Windows 11 computer. Keep in mind that this method works for Windows 11 Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions. The Home edition does not have the Remote Desktop feature by default.
