ISSUE - WON'T FIX - Failover Cluster Manager via RDP
Dear Windows Server insider Team,
I would like to raise awareness about a long standing issue, I hope you can address in Windows Server vNext. Problem: The context menus (right click) in Failov...
- After all of Karl's help, I am disappointed to say that we will not be fixing this bug.
The feature team investigated and shared some notes with me:
* The issue is related to screen scaling factors > 100%. This can happen both locally and with RD.
* The issue is related to various custom control implementations that were made in the WS2012R2 timeframe.
* The team is prioritizing work on cluster management functionality itself, rather than the user interface, particularly since the bug has been there for roughly ten years.
The Windows Admin Center team plans to continue investing in extensions and tools; our goal is to super-set the Win32 management UI eventually. So, I hope to turn FCM into modern, web UI rather than Win32 custom controls.
Thanks,
Michael

Michael,
A modern web ui is not what we need. The reason Windows is preferable is due to the native gui tools. It would be much better for a native/modern MMC based around c# and WinUI since this is Windows Server. At the least with the new wac core. It would would be preferable by many to have a native desktop app than the web interface which is slow and does not work well in complex security environments.
