How can I use Remote Desktop Connection on Windows 10 PRO without logging out the user?

Question

I'm successfully remote into one of my home computers from another computer on the same network, as well as when I'm away for work. When trying to remote in to help my daughter with an issue she was having, I couldn't remote in without logging her out in the process. When I returned home, I tried different things, but always logged her computer out when I remote in, and as soon as she enters her password I am booted from the Remote Desktop Connection session. Is there a way of me remoting into the computer without logging her out, so that I can teach her/show her how to resolve some of the issues she may encounter?

Have your daughter request remote assistance and send the invite to you. That way you share her screen.

An alternative would be to use one of the VNC versions. I use UltraVNC on my home network.
