Hi, I upgraded to Microsoft Remote Desktop Client for Mac: 10.8.2 but a connection I use just errors on trying to connect. I restored 10.8.1 from backup and it's working fine again, so thinking it is the new version causing the problem. It is quite an old server it's connecting to for this connection. Other, more modern servers are working fine with the newer version of RDP client.
Running on Ventura, 13.3.1.

I can confirm rolling back to Microsoft Remote Desktop 10.8.1 (2048) via Time Machine works great with no issues. Be sure to disable automatic app updates beforehand. I did not have luck with the Beta version link provided above. I lost all my PC connections when I tried that. On macOS Ventura 13.3.1.
Update to 10.8.2 (2088) does that for me, too.
Since no Microsoft expert here even bothered to offer a solution, I will provide it to you.
Just download the older version of the RDP client here:

"Great" work from Microsoft as usual...
I update via Apple App Store and this is what it says about this update:

Yet again, Microsoft haven't even caught up with telling us anything about this update and what it's supposed to fix/add/break. No details given on their official product update page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/mac-whatsnew
If they can't even tell us about what it's supposed to do, I would steer well clear of it until they do.
Feel free to provide them feedback on this mishap at the bottom of the site, in the link.
I restored using TimeMachine but you should be fine to overwrite the new version with the older one. I didn’t have any issues with loosing connections. Think at last MacOS upgrade to Ventura all the connection passwords went and needed re-entered.
