RDP Not Scaling Undocked

avatar

Why is there an unused gray border inside the RDM window surrounding the display of the host to which I am connected, when undocked?



Thank you.

Hi,

If you go to the properties of the session select the display setting and amend your Screen scaling mode. Have a play with which one works best for you.


I think smart sizing will be the one you want.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding this,

Could you please specify the version of RDM you are currently using?

I'm also wondering if you could provide us with a screenshot of your entry Properties, I would like to see the "Display" section.

Let me know,

Best regards,

Samuel Dery

Samuel, thanks for your quick response.

(I am evaluating RDM for our team at the suggestion of a colleague, so very new to it. So, it may be something obvious).

At first try, your latest suggestion of Smart reconnect worked.

Thanks!
