Microsoft Remote Desktop Preview

Finally, windowed mode is corrected and works as expected. And the display scaling function appears to work as well. This is super useful on 1080p+ resolution monitors. This app now is quite usable, but still the one function all of us day to day admins want is the ability to spawn multiple desktop sessions in independent windows.

I manage quite a few servers, and the inability to scale the display while running windowed is frustrating.

This app doesn't understand DPI right. I have a high DPI screen on my laptop, and low DPI monitors. For some reason certain APIs (e.g. Windows Forms Screens) tell apps that the monitors have 2x the resolution they actually have, and then scale the window, to make the apps look right when they move across to the high DPI screen. Anyway, long story short, if I use this app full screen, the remote thinks my 1920x1080 screen is 3820x2160, resulting in completely illegible SQL Management studio (just for instance). Bottom line is that the only thing it has going for it to recommend it over the RDP client in the box is that it automatically saves computers/creds/gateways (separately) in the app, instead of as connection files.

please let me resize my window and trigger a remote connection without it auto-fullscreening. When I put it back to windowed... now my remote desktop has scrolllbars. :(

After minimizing window and then bringing it back to full screen the start bar is not visible. Also would like to view all RDP connections in a list and be able to organize within groups. Would also like to be able to export my config and import into other machines.

Very much like the updated UI and the investment in the Windows 10 Universal Platform. It shows Microsoft is serious about it and demonstrates its capabilities. UI is simple and intuitive. Want to see this become the default version of remote desktop and the Win32 version retired.

This is real productivity on-the-go. The app works great in Continuum on my Lumia 950. Please add support for file transfer / drag-and-drop files between phone storage and remote computer.
