Virtual Desktop with AutoCAD
Hello all I am a AutoCAD user having issues with Virtual Desktop. SOMETIMES not all the time does it happen and it is really frustrating when it doesn't work the way I am intending to. Sometimes...
- 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.
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

MicrosoftBlairPS 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.
