I look after my nieces pc and have the administrator account and use the same Microsoft account as my pc, xbox etc.

Her pc then has a restricted user account and normally no issues for her other than when software wants to do an update and I have to manually authorise it.

Is there a way to let it auto update for existing programs, just trying to avoid having to walk across the landing to put in my password when I am in the middle of something else.

Her pc is Windows 10 Home and mine is Windows 10 Pro if that matters.

Remote desktop is not available in W10 Home as far as I can see.

Any other options ?
 
Thanks, for some reason I thought it was not free any more
 
It's still free for personal use. Occasional use like this is fine.

Alternatively, VNC also works. There's an online version nowadays but otherwise ultra VNC / tightVNC do the same. Need to install server on her PC, then use the viewer on your one. For simplicity, Teamviewr should do nicely anyway.
 
Installed TeamViewer on mine, need to do hers and then configure it
 
Worked fine when on my user account.

Rebooted logged into hers and my machine just rejects the connection, do not even get as far as putting in the password.

Will need to research what is happening and seeing if using my windows account login details remotely will help ?
