I have a specific usage case - I work in a multiplatform environment in which I work on the Mac and on the PC. I don't want to keep changing physical keyboards, so despite the fact that the two physical machines are next to eachother beneath my desk, I use remote desktop to view and operate the PC while working on the Mac. This works reasonable well except that the Remote Desktop Service on the PC requires that I can only be logged in either via the Remote Desktop app OR the PC itself. Since there are some operations that cannot be performed via RDP - attaching to a VPN being one of them - it would be nice if I could just leave the PC logged in and operate it via Remote Desktop at the same time. Now, I'm sure there really IS such a way, but the internet is not my friend in helping me find it. So properly-speaking, this probably a complaint about the service and not the client app, but the entire eco-system is failing me in small ways. Also, while I appreciate the option that allows the Apple key to be interchangable with ctrl for edit operations and find, it doesn't seem to work consistently, and as everyone who has ever switched back and forth between the Mac and Windows knows, confusion over which meta key to use in editing will eventually cause brain damage and is likely to send hardware on ballistic journeys through windows (not Windows).

The software serves its purpose, but it is wrought with bugs and suspect UI design elements that for several major releases hav e not been addressed. In particular on a i9/AMD 2018 Mac, connected to a Display Link docking station, if the docking station was unplugged during a live RDP session, the software would cause the screen to go black, and it was irrecoverable until rebooted. On multiple Macbook versions, when a session is active and the connection is broken say when the laptop is put to sleep by closing the lid, when the computer is openned again it asks the question do you want to resume session. This is annoying because if accepted, the resolution from the prior session is restored which might not match the resolution of the current monitors the laptop is connectd to, and so the bet option is to say no, and then reconnect. A better solution would simply be to be disconnect without showing the dialog box and big black screen. Hitting the 'Delete' key at any time when transfering a large file with copy paste between local and remote connections with throw an unspecified error and cancel the transaction, even if the File Explorer progress bar is not active and the user is in any other application. Sometimes the remote desktop background image will not be visible, and the RDP session will just show a black background on the remote Windows/Windows server computer. This bug is not consistent, but frequent.

Typical MS… making it less productive every version

Microsoft doesn’t seem to understand that people could be connecting to multiple virtual computers from different companies. All of their software makes it increasingly difficult to switch from one company to another. I can’t switch at all on iPhone apps because one company took over everything MS. This new Windows App is no different. With the previous “Remote Desktop” one could at least switch between accounts in the Quick Launch in the Menu Bar… not so now. You have to bring up the “Connection Center” and then switch accounts. You can’t Favorite them and have them in the same place. You can’t quickly connect to anything. And that’s not even getting started on the number of times I have to enter a password to get logged in to the remote system and have to hit OK on yet another screen in the launch process… missing any one of them will cause it to close the connection. Oh, and then it randomly needs to re-authenticate throughout the day regardless of the fact you may be actively in a meeting. The interface even got uglier with this upgrade… I didn’t know that was possible. MS design team says “hold my beer” I guess.Does anyone from Microsoft use their own software? Have they ever had to work for multiple companies? Better still, do any of them use Apple computers to have an idea of how things should be working? I’d guess the answer is yes given the number of ideas they steal and execute poorly.

Its good, but needs to fix these 2 issue to be great.

I have used Microsoft from DOS days to Windows 11. But recently migrated to MAC for personal use. However, I do PC support from home and have a Windows 10 work LAB running. Both MAC and Windows PC are on the same Local network and IP scheme. My main issue is hit and miss. One day I can connect to the Windows 10 LAB via the hostname, the next I must use the IP address. I can map my shared drive from my MAC using the hostname yet cannot connect to the hostname with this Microsoft Remote Desktop app running on my MAC. Rebooting or flushing the network makes no difference. My next issue happened with the newest update. Once I am connected and use the fit to Window option and exit out of full screen mode to window mode, The desktop rather than stay at a scaled down version now blows up. The issue sort of looks like I am using the old Microsoft magnifier app. I really hate this as it makes using multiple apps hard while connect. Changing resolution makes no difference. Issue is still there. So, I truly hope that these two issues get fixed in an update soon. With this said. I really like this app. I appreciate the fact its free, easy to use and it has the ability to import or export the RDP files.

In this release we made the following updates: • Fixed a bug that caused the client to stall during Frontline license activation if the access token was expired. • Added support for Continuous Access Evaluation during workspace download and connection orchestration. • Tweaked the appearance of the Quick Launcher header. To enable UDP shortpath for AVD and Windows 365 connections, set the "ClientSettings.EnableAvdUdpSideTransport" user default to true. If you encounter any errors, you can contact us via Help > Submit Feedback.
