Microsoft’s Remote Desktop App Bids Farewell: Embrace the New Windows App Adventure!
Microsoft is pulling the plug on its Remote Desktop app from the Microsoft Store on May 27. But don’t panic! The new Windows App is ready to save the day, as long as you’re not using Windows. Until full support arrives, Microsoft suggests using the classic Remote Desktop Connection for your remote PC adventures.
Hot Take:
Microsoft’s decision to pull the plug on the Remote Desktop app is like getting a notice that your favorite coffee shop is closing, but don’t worry, there’s a new java joint in town called the Windows App. It’s supposed to offer a better brew, but for some reason, they don’t serve the same espresso shots you love on Windows, though they do everywhere else. Sip cautiously!
Key Points:
- Microsoft is ending support for the Remote Desktop app on May 27, 2024.
- The new Windows App will be the replacement but lacks full Windows support for Remote Desktop Services.
- Users are advised to use the built-in Remote Desktop Connection until the new app fully supports Windows.
- The Windows App aims to be a one-stop shop for remote connectivity across various platforms.
- Despite years of development, the Windows App still lacks certain features on Windows compared to other platforms.
