We can change that listening port from which Remote Desktop feature hear the connection request. By default listening port is 3389 and if we want to change the it then first we have to modify the registry.

You can follow the below steps to change the port:

You have to modify the registry and make sure you have to do this carefully. You have to first take backup of registry.
