  • FIDO2 Passkey support is lacking

    When signing into a “work or school account”, attached passkeys/yubikeys are not recognized preventing authentication for users that are not allowed to use lesser MFA methods. The RDP client needs to use an embedded browser that supports the WebAuthn/FIDO protocol. Hopefully this client supports passing native FIDO2 passkey request into the RDP hosts.

  • Bring back the older app

    Ever since the upgrade I am not able to use my CAC Reader to login in. This is horrible. I know my reader works because Citrix works with it and so does Safari when logging into some work related websites. So the issue(s) is this app.

  • Was better before the update

    This version is unable to save to my keychain so I always have to enter my credentials.

  • The feedback button leads to a 404

    Want to report a bug, copy/pasting from a connection to a macOS app hangs every app (probably something to do with line-endings) but I CANT REPORT ANYTHING because Help > Send Feedback leads to a 404 page. How was this not picked up in QA?

  • Regressing in terms of macOS keyboard nagivation

    The app no longer responds to CMD + W. If I’m in the app’s Connection Center window and open a remote PC, and then press CMD + ` to return to the Connection Center window, and then press CMS + W to close the Connection Center window, the window stays open. This is a regression and is in addition to the still unsolved issue that you can’t tab to a Saved PC in the Connection Center. The app is not friendly to users who prefer using the keyboard.

  • Looks new, lost some functionality

    Being that the Feedback option in the menu is a dead link, I’ll provide feedback here. The new Windows App version lacks ability to launch on startup without opening the main connection center window. I’d like the app to start up and simply hide itself in the menu bar, the ability to remove/hide the dock icon would be great as well. If it’s going to have a dock icon, make it useful with a good context menu, having a menu-bar and dock icon is redundant and annoying.

  • it’s ok

    typical remote desktop client. Would be nice if it was the same on windows so I don’t have to use the mac version as the windows version requires a Microsoft business or student account for some reason, while I could also just use the legacy windows version, it’s super out of date.

    Yet another app from Microsoft that barely works. First off it adds a menubar item you can’t get rid of. Then when you follow their recommendations about sending feedback via “Help”, takes you to a URL that doesn’t exist. On top of that, the window is like DUPLO’s. Let’s just make every application/server be a 4th of the screen wide. Have you not heard about compact?

  • Good over all.

    First, the admins took co-pilot functions away in a recent update. That was unfortunate. Most times, the app works great. The second issue is petty, but I hate that the "edges" don't resize freely. I have a rectangular screen; without switching my view to full screen, the virtual desktop won't view edge to edge. The connection has improved greatly over the old app version. Either way, we are captive to this system, and there's little chance of improvements.
