The Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) provides remote display and input capabilities over network connections for Windows-based applications running on a server. RDP is designed to support different types of network topologies and multiple LAN protocols. Remote Desktop Protocol or just RDP allows a user to establish a connection between two computers and access the Desktop of a remote host. See the following guide on how to remove saved RDP credentials entries in Windows 10 and How to remove RDP connection entries.
How to allow saved credentials for RDP connection
RDP is based on, and an extension of, the ITU T.120 family of protocols. Furthermore, RDP is a multiple-channel capable protocol that allows for separate virtual channels for carrying device communication and presentation data from the server and encrypted client mouse and keyboard data. RDP provides an extensible base and supports up to 64,000 separate channels for data transmission and provisions for multipoint transmission.
