I couldn't find a detailed answer specifically for Windows users. What is the simplest way to get a Windows 10 full node able to accept a connection from a mobile wallet so I can connect to a node I am in control of?

I extracted the Monero files to monero folder in C:
Right click on monerod and create a shortcut.
Right click on monerod.exe -shortcut and open "properties"
In the "target" field put in C:\monero\monerod.exe --rpc-bind-ip 192.168.1.100 --confirm-external-bind --restricted-rpc
In your router you will need to forward ports 18080 and 18081 to the IP of your machine running monerod.
I am unsure if there are any benefits to setting a password.
In addition, I made a task in task scheduler to start monerod at bootup (with the same options --rpc-bind-ip 192.168.1.100 --confirm-external-bind --restricted-rpc), and set my PC bios to automatically boot in case of power outage, this way its always running.

Find your WAN IP (ipchicken.com) and you can add it to your mobile wallet (cakewallet or monerujo) remote node list and use port 18081. Commented Aug 31, 2019 at 1:33
