Log Off or Disconnect
With some congurations, if you disconnect from a remote desktop without logging o, applications in the
desktop can remain open. You can also disconnect from a server and leave remote applications running.
Even if you do not have a remote desktop open, you can log o of the remote desktop operating system.
Using this feature has the same result as sending Ctrl+Alt+Del to the desktop and then clicking Log .

equivalent of pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, click the Send Ctrl+Alt+Delete buon in the menu bar. Alternatively, in
most cases, you can press Ctrl+Alt+Insert.
