Docker container Windows, connect via RDP or VNC Client

Question

Can't see visually a windows 10 container.

I have tried to connect via RDP (exposing 3389 port via -p 3389:3389)

I know that inside the container there is a virtual monitor (emulated at 1240x768). I have created a node server that return me a sceeenshot from the desktop with this plugin:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/screenshot-desktop

Using it locally work like a charm, I see a screenshot of my current monitor. But when i try to run it inside the container i see a black screen, so maybe it's impossible to connect visually...

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:1903
# FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows:1903

EXPOSE 3389

docker run -it --rm -p 3389:3389 sample:dev

I tried 2 base image but result it's the same

I would see what is happening inside the container, like a VM.

There is no RDP support for windows containers at this time.

I've also been trying to get a container running VNC and have opened a ticket with the TightVNC team you can see here:
