So…yeah. Seems MS, in their endless wisdom has decided to rename their virtual desktop software, called before as “Remote Desktop” (and good luck trying to find issues with that that are not related to the old RDP tool MTSC.exe) to… “Windows App”. Perfect. Now everything will look like everything, and there’s no way to ever try to search for help for it. Next in line, I guess they can call it just “App”. I’m sure that will help everyone.
Did microsoft make a new protocol that isnt rdp? Or did they switch to a new one?
I use rdp a lot to remote into work so if that changes, i need to know 😅
It probably still uses rdp, but doesn’t let you connect to your own instances, just the cloud ones.
No they just have no replacement for it yet other than the inbuilt RDP app that comes with Windows (or third party apps). I don’t believe the protocol itself is changing
Then the “windows app” can do nothing? If they dont have rdp support, and remote desktop uses rdp, then it cant do anything??
It let’s you access Windows 365 and Azure virtual desktops but nothing local
Of course it does, microsoft are building themselves out of business.
