Remote Desktop question

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

I am trying to help explain a software problem to a friend of mine. If I connect to his computer via RDC, can he see the desktop? For some reason I seem to recall that the remote terminal locks out and the desktop and what's being done cannot be seen on the remote terminal. It would be best if he can see what I'm doing.

Anyone know?

Use something like RealVNC instead

so RDC would lock the screen?

I'm hoping to resolve the issue today, and RDC is already installed.

Microsoft's "Remote Desktop" locks the User's screen. "Remote Assistance" doesn't, but can be REALLY slow".

As noted, RealVNC will be much easier to implement.
