I have since found out that Windows Remote Desktop is not fully compatible with OpenGL which is used in SNP.
It is possible to run SNP without using OpenGL. It works correctly on Remote Desktop when started without OpenGL.

I chose not to use RealVNC etc. because the speed (instantaneous response) of Remote desktop is much better and the screens are just like sitting in front on the telescope computer. The camera images displayed are just as you would see them in the observatory.

I am now just about ready for winter.
I will be able to set up the observatory for viewing then move to the nice warm loungroom. Very handy when doing a series of 10 minute images, I will be able to keep an eye on everything from the laptop.
