Disabling RDP isn't an unreasonable security policy given the number of historical vulnerabilities tied to it. Since what you said of the IT team makes them sound like they are just checking boxes... how strict are they about installation of additional software? Have you considered using VNC instead of RDP? Also... did they disable the "request assistance" app? You could try using that as a back door way to RDP onto the device.

just throwing this out there... you keep mentioning RDP for remote access, but also mention the computer is local to your house too... If that is the case, why not use the built-in windows "request remote assistance" instead? Pretty much the same exact thing as RDP except you need someone local on the machine to be able to initiate it. Since you have the computer there... that shouldn't be that big of a deal. I believe the "quick assist" app from MS in their app store can be even easier from that perspective and I believe it doesn't even need admin to install.
@DonteMooney so are you trying out ChatGPT on these old threads, or are you just an excited new member to Ars? If the latter... welcome, but answering long-dead threads is generally not productive for anyone.
