I'm just starting to use a remote desktop connection from my laptop for the first time to control a PC running a 8 screen video wall. When I remote into the PC, the screen on the remote PC stays at the Ctrl + Alt + Delete screen and I have a "pseudo login" running in the remote window. Is this how it's supposed to work? Can I not remove that screen when I log in and see my actions on the screen for real, instead of in the window on my laptop?
As it is now, I have no visibility of anything on the physical screens (apparently RDC allows visibility of only one screen) and the remote machine stays locked when I'm done.

Remote Desktop Connection always locks the screen of the computer you remote into. If you need the computers physical screen to show what you are doing, you would need to look at a third party software such as VNC or Teamviewer.
