Microsoft to Retire Old Remote Desktop App: Transition to Windows App with Enhanced Features and Windows 365 Cloud Access

Microsoft is phasing out the old Microsoft Remote Desktop app from the Microsoft Store, urging users to transition to the new Windows App. The shift aims to provide a more unified experience with enhanced features: * Multi-monitor support. * Dynamic display resolutions. * Customizable home screens. * Access to Windows 365 computers in the cloud. While the Windows App offers improvements, it doesn't fully replace all functionalities on every platform. Notably, Windows-to-Windows connections still require the built-in Remote Desktop Connection, pending future support in the Windows App. The Windows App also requires a work or school Microsoft account, limiting access for individual users for now. Microsoft recommends checking their known issues and limitations page when moving from the old program.
