Windows – How to login to different user in RDP locked system

remoteremote accessremote desktopwindowswindows 10

I am having two systems with Windows 10 OS namely comp1 and comp2.
In comp1 system, I has two user accounts namely user1 and user2.

From comp2 system, I have taken the comp1 as Remote desktop connection using user1 login. Immediately comp1 system got locked. Now in comp1 system, I tried to login to user2 account. But it throws error message that the remote desktop connection will be disconnected if i do so.

Is it possible to login to one user account if the other user account was locked for remote desktop? I don't want to use remote assistance option.

Desktop versions of Windows do not support multiple simultaneous logons. If you were to try to do this with RDP, an attempt to connect via RDP would cause any other RDP user or the console user to be signalled for permission to disconnect to allow the new RDP user access to the computer.

Server versions of Windows that support Terminal Server can do what you describe.
