Remote Desktop M1 Support

Good Morning,

 

I have been having issues with Remote Desktop freezing up on my M1 MacBook Pro running macOS Monterey. When the app freezes it causes other issues on my Mac as well but everything goes back to functioning properly once I force close the app.

    Here’s a quick solution:

    1. Update Software: Ensure macOS and Remote Desktop are up to date.
    2. Reinstall App: Delete and reinstall Remote Desktop.
    3. Reset Preferences: Remove Remote Desktop preferences from `~/Library/Preferences/`.
    4. Clear Cache: Delete cache files from `~/Library/Caches/`.

    If issues persist, contact Remote Desktop or Apple Support.

    I've also run into issues with Remote Desktop freezing on M1. My coworkers on M1 have reported similar issues that require either disconnect and reconnect or full force quits of the app. Coworkers on Intel mac have not had any issues and I don't have the same issue on my own Intel Mac.
