I managed to solve the issue the same way - just switched to M Pro CPU and forgot about power draining almost in any software.

gfxCardStatus

https://gfx.io

features:

• Growl or Notification Center notifications when the GPU changes.

• The Dependencies list: open the gfxCardStatus menu when your discrete GPU is active to see what is turning it on.

• Manually switch to Integrated Only or Discrete Only mode to force one GPU on or the other.

When I connect to a RDP session, my MacBook Pro 16" switches to the discrete video card

And even after RDP disconnect Macbook can't switch back to Intel integrated GPU as RDM doesn't release it. I have to close RDM and only after that Macbook switches to Intel GPU. It's quite uncomfortable as I have to always remember to close the app or sometimes I have a lot of opened linux ssh console tabs (none of them RDP) and I just don't need to close the app but Macbook still using discrete video card and as consequense I have much higher battery drain.

Hi,

I have MacBook Pro 16" with both integrated Intel UHD graphics and Radeon 5500M.

When I connect to a server via RDP I can see in system monitor that graphics switches from integrated to discrete video card and it stills even after disconnect until I completely close the app. Seems like it's not a good application behaviour. As a result I'm getting high battery consumption every time I forget to close the app.

Any suggestions or plans to solve this?

You can try setting the "Username format" to {User}:

Yes, that works! Thanks a lot!

OS: MacOS Catalina

RDM ver: 2019.2.0.0

I have a RDP server which use alternative credential provider OpenOTP. To be able to login user should use UPN username e.g. "user@domain.com".

I have no problem when I use native Microsoft Remote Desktop Client, also I have no problem using RDM Windows version. But when I use RDM MacOS version I have an error about wrong username\password. Looks like the problem connected with the username format which RDM MacOS version uses.

Any thoughts about that?
