   I use RealVNC client on Windows and Android to access RealVNC server   
   (built into older versions of Rapsberry PiOS) or some other VNC server   
   that is built into current versions of RPiOS. That works very well and   
   gives me a virtual desktop.   
      
   It allows me to run a Pi "headless" (no KVM) and control it from the PC   
   or phone/tablet. If I view the HDMI output from the Pi on a TV, I see   
   the same screen on there as on the RealVNC client.   
      
   I also use Real VNC between two Windows PCs. The difference in that case   
   is that all comms has to go via a cloud server so there is slight lag   
   compared with Windows to Pi which is direct by TCP.
