Template is not honored
Hi,
I have my laptop which is connected in work to a docking station with two 1080p monitors show i'm using the default wide screen i have made
It works ok, but on home i have a smaller resolution monitor two monitors connected on adocking station of resolution
so i need to have my RDP in another size, i made a template and i'm using the open with template
now you can see above i have make it even smaller but it is not honored, it is open like the default template
you can see below that the screen is very big
normally this works in mstsc
C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe /w:1560 /h:810
I click on the session open with template select the above but nothing.
What is wrong?
2026.3.12.0
Thank you

Hi skoupidaki,
Thanks for the screenshots. This is a bug in 2026.3.12: "Open from template" always used the first template in your list (Default Wide Screen here), no matter which one you picked. It's fixed in 2026.3.13, so updating RDM to the latest version will sort it out. I tested it here with a 1560x810 template on an external RDP entry, and the session opens at 1560x810 as expected.
Also, if you'd rather not switch templates between home and work, you can set Remote desktop size on the entry to Current work area size. RDM then sizes the session to whatever monitor it opens on, so the same entry fits both setups.
Let me know how it goes.
Best regards,
