How do I access the control panel of a remote computer?

 

I am a network manager, and I need to access users’ Control Panels remotely to remove unauthorized software. Now I tried this with PsExec, but it is not working, so I didn't know if I could do what I wanted with PsExec or not. If not, how can I access Control Panel remotely on Windows 10 and 11?”

- Question from Spiceworks

It is sorry to tell you that PsExec can’t help you access Control Panel on a remote computer on my system. What you need is professional remote desktop software that would let you remotely access and completely control the remote computer, then access Control Panel.
