Windows App

Such a bland name! Try Googling Windows App and see how many irrelevant results you get. Thankfully, the massive thumbnails for each PC can now be reduced (although the app forgets this option if you back out of the app to exit). I can't see how to scan my network to retrieve computer names which you need to set up a connection. Luckily, I still have the old RD app so had to use that to grab names.

Works pretty well, though onboarding could be improved. Started by typing in my Microsoft account, then it turns out only work or school accounts are supported. At home, setting up the connection for a PC is entirely manual. The remote view fills the screen without any padding, which means the corners are cropped out on screens with rounded corners. There should be a setting for inserting some padding to ensure the image isn't cropped too much.

Horrendous, what has happened to the app. It's crashed and won't let me sign in, won't let me verify my ID via email, phone mumber or fingerprint and authenticator doesn't work with it. Keeps telling me there's an error, tap here to fix....tried that several times and tried everything else. Come on Microsoft, you've been around decades taking our money, time to give the user a product that works.....shocking!
