Add-on for Microsoft's Remote desktop app

Hello,

You can configure in your RDP entry in RDM the version you'd like to use. Can you try setting it to "MSRDC" and seeing if it works for you?



This is also configurable in File > Settings > Entry types > Sessions > Remote Desktop, if you would like to apply this to all of the entries by default on your machine.

Regards,

Hello,
thanks for replying, now I have the following error:

Hi,

How have you installed MSRDC? It really needs to be MSRDC with the MSI installer: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/users/connect-windows?pivots=remote-desktop-msi#download-and-install-the-remote-desktop-client-msi

The new "Windows App" or any of the Microsoft Remote Desktop apps from the Microsoft Store are not supported. They're installed with an MSIX which prevents us from directly accessing the RDP ActiveX DLL from Remote Desktop Manager, and that's unfortunately by design. When you install MSRDC with the MSI, we can find the DLL and load it directly.

Best regards,
