In our daily use of Windows 10/11 system comes with itremoteAfter the desktop is connected, there will always be a history left in the remote desktop connection box, as shown in the figure below. If there are many machines that have been connected, even if they just try to connect, they will be recorded under the remote desktop connection box, and multiple records will affect us to quickly select the machine to actually connect to next time, which is very distressing.

Eleven (www.11zhang.com) also shared a "Clear Windows 10/11 system Remote Desktop connection records".

Today, a friend asked: Can the remote desktop connection record be automatically cleared every time the remote desktop connection is disconnected?

In Windows 10/11 systems, after using mstsc (Remote Desktop Connection), the system records the IP address or computer name of the most recently connected. These records are usually stored in the registry and in the Default.rdp configuration file. To automatically clear these records, we can write a script (such as a batch or PowerShell script) to delete these registry keys and configuration files, and then set the script to run every time a user logs out or log in, or through task scheduling to run periodically.

Procedure:

1. Create a batch script ClearRDPHistory.bat file, omitted here, eleven (www.11zhang.com) have already written the batch script.
