Ending a Remote Desktop Session

When ending your Remote Desktop Connect, you can either go to the Windows Start menu and hit "Disconnect" or simply press the "Disconnect All PCs" within the Windows App itself. Simply closing the app also will cause the remote session to disconnect after a few minutes of inactivity.

DO NOT GO TO THE START MENU AND CLICK SHUTDOWN! This will turn off the remote computer and then you won't be able to connect to it again without physically turning the PC back on.
