For the love of all that is holy, fix RDP fullscreen

Hi, as title says.   Since the move from Win7, going fullscreen in RDP means diddly squat. I have an OLED display, so I have the taskbars set to hide on both my work laptop, as well as my RDP works...

When launching your RDP session, click on Show Options > Display tab.

Try lowering the display resolution or enabling "Use all my monitors for the remote session" if available.

Check the "Fullscreen" option and see if toggling "Smart sizing" helps.

    Unfortunately I cannot change some of the settings as I don’t want RDP to use all displays, only the one I fullscreen the window on.

     

    Why would I lower the display resolution, what’s the reasoning behind why this would work? If the fullscreen option is checked, it fills the entire screen, which is the desired behavior.

     

    Will try toggling Smart Sizing but I don’t see why that would affect it either. As I said in the post, it works perfectly on the primary (laptop) display, just not on secondary ones, so my bet is some stupid taskbar logic being to blame.
