Windows – Does Windows Remote Desktop lock or hide the screen of the remote PC

remote desktopwindows 7

If I connect to my work PC from home, will the screen on the work PC show exactly what I'm doing? Or, will the screen be blanked and/or locked? When I log off or disconnect, will my work PC be left unlocked?

Both PCs run Windows 7.

Also, what happens if someone else is already logged in on my work PC when I connect remotely? Can more than one person be simultaneously logged on?

I can't test this since I only have 2 PCs, and they're not at the same location.

The screen is locked and it will show who is logged in remotely, as well as the hostname of the remote computer. When you log off it remains at the logon screen. More than one person cannot be logged in simultaneously.

You can, use VNC.
