    Closing the loop here, this forum is for Windows Virtual Desktop (https://aka.ms/wvd), a new Azure service providing virtualized apps and desktops. The issue reported by Blair is with the Virtual Desktops feature in Windows 10. I recommend submitting the issue in Feedback Hub under the Desktop Environment \ Virtual Desktops category.

BlairPS: Looks like you are running into issues using our remote desktop app for Windows. Please file your feedback using the feedback option in the app. Click the 3 dots in the upper right corner and look for the proper option.

    evasse I am not talking about the remote desktop app at all this is all local. It is a virtual desktop issue refer to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12445/windows-keyboard-shortcuts. When a new virtual desktop is made when autocad is open using the windows key + ctrl + D the new virtual desktop has autocad open on the new desktop made by the keyboard shortcut

      BlairPS Can you send the sequence of events? Something like this:

      - From desktop 1, press CTRL+Win+D to open a new desktop (desktop 2)

      - Switch back to Desktop 1

      - Launch AutoCAD as a RemoteApp

       

      Expected:

      - AutoCAD launches on Desktop 1.

       

      Actual:

      - AutoCAD launches on Desktop 2.

        It can happen in any sequence and the issue still occurs.

        Senario #1

        -AutoCAD open on screen
        -Press Win+CTRL+D (To create desktop #2)
        -AutoCAD is now open on desktop #1 and #2
        -I minimize AutoCAD on either desktop #1 or #2 and it will minimize on both

        Senario #2

        -Nothing open on screen
        -Press Win+CTRL+D (To create desktop #2)
        -Open AutoCAD on desktop #1
        -Toggle to desktop #2 Win+CTRL+Right arrow and AutoCAD will be open on both

        Not sure where this remote application stuff is coming into play. I am not using a remote machine at all and this is all local on this machine.
