Windows 365 and Multiple Monitors
I have searched far and wide for information on how to use the Windows Remote Desktop client to use the supposedly supported multiple monitor configuration but without any success. We reached out to Microsoft support responded that this functionality isn't supported. Documentation seems to suggest that support for it does exist. Using 64 bit version of the Microsoft Desktop Client, per the recommendations in the Windows 365 client web page. Not sure where to go here, anyone have any idea or suggestions? Anyone get this to work?
Update: Adding the referenced documentation: Get started with the Windows Desktop client | Microsoft Docs

When I right click on the Cloud PC icon, this is what I see... no other settings are present. Do you have a screen shot that could help identify where it is you are clicking? Mine just has "Unpin from Start" as the only option.
- Looks like you are running the wrong RD Client. CookieW linked the right place to get the client. It supports multiple monitors.
- Thanks for pointing that out. It wasn't obvious at first.
- Please use the client Version 1.2.2924.0
- A few screen grabs of the UX/UI experience would be a beneficial addition to the post
- It's all here, with instructions:

Dodge-1350 - Hi, I have explained about using multiple monitors with Cloud PC in this article - https://www.prajwaldesai.com/use-multiple-monitors-with-windows-365/
- Hi all - so this is one I still struggle with. Have a WIndows 10 device running WIndows 365 (with Windows 11 23H2). I still cannot get the 2nd screen to work. Client versions are the latest (checked updated). Have followed instructions in the thread, but disconnecting and reconnecting the Windows 365 desktop doesn't allow it to recognise dual screen - it just duplicated and controls in the virtual Win 11 desktop are not configurable
