Final answer:

To control Alt Delete in a Remote Desktop session, use the Ctrl+Alt+End keyboard combination to send the Ctrl+Alt+Delete command to the remote system, or use the on-screen keyboard feature.

Step-by-step explanation:

To perform the equivalent of Ctrl+Alt+Delete in a Remote Desktop session, you have a couple of options depending on the operating system and the settings of Remote Desktop. If you're using a Windows operating system on both your local machine and the remote desktop, you can use the keyboard combination Ctrl+Alt+End. This command is the default method to send a Ctrl+Alt+Delete signal to the remote system. Alternatively, if you're using the on-screen keyboard feature within the Remote Desktop session, you can directly press the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys on the on-screen keyboard, which will perform the same action as performing it on a physical keyboard.

To control Alt+Delete in Remote Desktop, you can use the following steps:

Start by opening the Remote Desktop connection.

Once connected, press the Ctrl+Alt+End buttons on your keyboard. This keyboard combination is equivalent to pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete.

This will bring up the security dialog box in the remote desktop session, where you can choose options like Lock, Switch User, Sign Out, and Task Manager.

By pressing Ctrl+Alt+End inside the Remote Desktop session, you can perform the same functions as Ctrl+Alt+Delete does on the local machine.
