2. Open the following path in turn:

Hkey_local_machine/system/currentcontrolset/control/terminal server/wds/rdpwd/tds/tcp

Find the Portnamber value whose default value is 3389, modify it to the desired port, for example: 12547, and note the use of decimal. See:

Hkey_local_machine/system/currentcontrolset/control/terminal server/winstations/rdp-tcp

Modify the value of PortNumber (default is 3389) to Port 12547, and note the use of decimal.
