    Does Windows App support an option to keep all virtual machines in window mode. Each time I refresh, I would connect to a machine and load into a full screen mode.

    When using the Windows App with multiple monitors, the "order" of monitors keeps changing after a reboot. This means that when a user specifies a subset of monitors that they'd like to use with Windows App, after the reboot, the order in Windows App is different, and Cloud PC is displayed on different monitors. For example, if the user has 4 monitors in "a row" (1,2,3,4) and they select to use monitor 3, 4 and connect the first time, the Cloud PC will be displayed correctly. If they reboot and launch Cloud PC again, the order of monitors in the Window App will no longer be 1,2,3,4 but could be any random order - for example, 3, 4, 2, 1. When the user launches their Cloud PC it will still be displayed on monitors 3, 4 but not in the same order (on the left, rather than right). Editing the rdp file manually isn't supported. Any idea how to specify what monitors can be used and have it "stick"?
