Windows – How to log in to Centos 7 using RDP from Win10

centosremote desktopwindows 10

I am a bit frustrated now. I have configured our Centos 7 server to be accessible from windows remote desktop. The connection is ok, but the server is now in locked status and I can not wake it up. All I see is a nice blue screen with the clock and a notification from application installer. How can I send CTRL+ALT+DEL to make the login form appearing on the screen? Are there any other shortcut combinations for this?

The Gnome lockscreen behaves similar to the way you login to Windows 10.

To make the login screen appear to be able to unlock it, simply left-click your mouse towards the bottom of the screen and drag up.

Alternatively, you can also just start typing your password when you're looking at the lockscreen and it will automatically pull up the login screen behind it. Typing any alphanumeric/special-character keys causes the login screen to appear.
