What RDP Wrapper is

RDP Wrapper is a free, open-source Windows utility for adding Remote Desktop Host support and concurrent RDP sessions to reduced-functionality systems for home use. It operates between Service Control Manager and Terminal Services while leaving the original termsrv.dll file untouched. Listed platforms include Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10. The project supports up to 15 concurrent sessions, with the actual limit depending on hardware and OS version. Console and remote sessions can run together, the same user can log on locally and remotely at once, and session shadowing is supported. Full multi-monitor support is listed for the RDP host. The release package contains an installer and uninstaller, a local RDP checker, a configuration tool, and batch files for installation, removal, and updates. RDPWInst supports unattended deployment. Online installation downloads an INI file from GitHub containing wrapper settings, binary patch codes, and build-specific data. Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003 are excluded, and RemoteFX-enabled hosts are a known issue.
