[Q] Remote desktop apps - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been looking with no success for a remote desktop app that allows me to just view and control a single windows application. I don't want to see the entire desktop when I start it up I just want to see the program that I selected to remotely view. Does anyone know if an android RDP has the ability to do this?

[Q] Sync Desktop App with Android using .NET

I have a desktop application running in .NET which communicates with the database server.
I am writing an app to capture some data randomly. Then I would like to communicate my android app with the desktop application to transfer the data.
Connectivity: USB
Problem: I am stuck at the communication method between desktop app and android app. I need to be able to retrieve data from android app (stored in SQLITE) using my desktop application (written in .NET). Ideally, I would like to extend the desktop application in .NET. Worst case, I can live with other languages preferably Java/C++.
Any recommendations would be appreciated!
Thank you.

[Q] How To Remote Desktop?

I have Windows 8.1 Pro on my desktop. I can remotely access my desktop using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Client app on my Nexus 6. This works if I am in the same local network.
How can I access my desktop when I am outside of my network?
Thanks

Need help with Remote Desktop Client on Android

I would like to use an android as a Windows 10 PC terminal. I'm using a Samsung Fold3 running Android 12 if it matters. It seems like a fairly simple process. Enable Remote Desktop on the Windows 10 PC. Make sure the PC's firewall (and virus protection software) passes Remote Desktop access. Install Remote Desktop Client on the Android and setup the connection to the PC.
The Remote Desktop Client sees the PC, fills in the active user account and requests the user password. I can enter the password but the android does not respond to the "Continue" button and all I can do is cancel out of it. I can also try to edit the PC configuration to setup a user account so that a password does not need to be entered each time but in this case the save button is unresponsive whether or not a password is entered.
This same thing happens whether I select the PC found on the local wifi or I enter the PC's IP address manually (with or without the 3389 port number).
Can anyone give me a clue as to what I'm doing wrong or how to proceed?
Sorry. User error. I was doing something stupid.
Never mind.

Thanks for the link.
My initial problem was just a usage error getting Microsoft Remote Desktop Client to work when on the same network. I fixed that issue and am able to use it to control my PC from an android as long as I'm on the same local network which is useful but I would also like to be able to do it from anywhere on the internet.
Your link led to a discussion of this issue with the possibility of using port forwarding or a VPN to allow access to my PC from an external network with varying degrees of complexity and hacking potential.
The link also discussed using chrome and a google account to access my PC remotely. This is unacceptable because I won't use chrome and have uninstalled it from all my android devices plus although I do have a Google account, I only use it to explicitly download apps from the store and otherwise disable Google Play Services and the Google Play Store and will not use any app that requires Google Play Services to function. So this option is out.
The final option requires me to create an account at a third party site and presumably direct all of my traffic through this third party. This too is unacceptable to me.
So the question is, is there a simpler method to access my PC from an android device that's on a different network than having to setup a vpn or enabling port forwarding on my router, that doesn't require registering for and using a third party service to accomplish the goal?
