Connect via RDP as if it was a local session

Windows (10 / Server 2012 R2):

Some applications behave differently, depending on the type of session. Some wouldn't even start in an RDP session.

Is there any possibility to manipulate the RDP-session in a way, so that those picky applications would take it as local?

According to this answer the /console switch has been removed.

All sessions should be treated the same as a physical log on. The technet article suggests using the /admin switch instead. Unfortunately I am not able to test this in my environment.

Original answer

When you run the RDC application you can add a switch to the command line to open it in console mode. This emulates the connection as if you were physically in front of the machine.

The command to run is:

mstsc /console
