Domdedomdomdom , we believe your specific issue is related to your Surface Pro X PC. Unfortunately, that specific model is running an older ARM SoC that we don't currently support, and seems to cause this issue. From the link above, we support ARM SoCs that meet the Copilot+ PC requirements. More details are available here: Copilot+ PC hardware requirements - Microsoft Support
Thanks Jon, I have sent the feedback through the hub with diagnostics @ today 21-12-24 5pm GMT the same issue occurs. My fallback is now and has always been the remote desktop app on meta... But if we can get this working it would potentially be slicker.....🤔
