RDP into Zorin18 when remote PC requires login

General Help
1

Just updated all my computers to Zorin18, and testing out remote access via RDP using ThinCast.

RDP works fine when I've logged into my remote PC, but after a while the remote PC returns to lock screen (user not logged out, but I have to re-authenticate to access desktop), and then Thincast will report remote PC not available.

I figured this required me to go into the remote PC's settings and enable Remote Login, not just Desktop sharing. When I do that, Thincast will connect to the remote PC, but all I see is a black screen in ThinCast.

Can anyone explain what I need to do to get RDP working on a remote PC when not logged into the remote PC?

you can try this :
Disable automatic screen lock
On the remote PC (Zorin 18):

Open Settings → Lock screen → Disable “Lock screen after”.

Or via terminal:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled false
