Based on my experience, Rdp will adjust to what the local PC has. If 1 monitor then 1 while connected to the other PC… if 2 then 2... If 3 then 3...
(One of the properties is to "extend" to all monitors)

By default, RDP only uses 1 screen, you can change it to use all your screens (there is a way to use more than 1 but not all, but that’s more advanced).

You are correct though, it has nothing to do with what screens are plugged in to the “server”

So if I remove the 2 attached screens will my user be able to use her 2 when connecting to it?

Yes (is the client using windows 10 or later and server is equivalent?)

Seeking a program that can find duplicate photos (even not the same size/metadata). I found these old posts, but seems those program are gone. Any current recommendations?

Can anyone recommend software that finds duplicate copies of the same photo?

Thanks a bunch!
FYI - dupeguru doesn't support Windows 10.

Maybe in 2017 dupeGuru didn't support Windows 10 (officially), but the program is still maintained and updated so it should be fine:

dupeGuru is good with pictures. It has a special Picture mode that can scan pictures fuzzily, allowing you to find pictures that are similar, but not exactly the same.

You may also try things like:

I haven't used it, I have used other tools from this dev in the past and they're pretty good, but maybe try URL Disabler v1.1

What to do after spilling chocolate syrup on a laptop? Over the touchpad, not the keys. Turned it over right away, so most of it dripped off, but a little might have seeped in around the touchpad. Removed power cable. Closed lid which should turn it off. Anything else?

my kids usually lick the table when they spill chocolate syrup on the table but here its probly not such a good idea. You have to open the whole laptop up and clean off all the syrup from the inside of the computer. try q-tips.

I'm installing Avast on a computer for the first time and it looks like the UI changed. I used to do advanced installation and just keep File Shield checked. Did they get rid of that option?
