Windows App is showing additional improvements to the overall VDI experience. As an Architect working for a consulting company, I have multiple clients with AVD environments I have to log into. One of the major benefits of Remote Desktop is that when opening, the window provides visibility to all signed in accounts. With Windows App, when opening the application, I'm in the most recent account. To benefit us that work in multiple environments, allow us the capability to choose which account I want to work in when opening the application. If Windows App only has one account associated, it can default to that account. But if there are two accounts present, allow the user to choose which one they want to go into at the onset.

https://aka.ms/AAwk476Great feedback — this is a common scenario for consultants and MSPs. Unlike the Remote Desktop client, the Windows App currently defaults to the last used account without prompting for account selection at startup. This limits usability for users managing multiple AVD environments.
It would be a valuable enhancement for the Windows App to include an account picker on launch when multiple accounts are signed in. If only one account is present, it can default to that as it does now. This would streamline access and align the experience more closely with the legacy client.
This request aligns well with multi-tenant needs and improved UX and would be a strong candidate for the roadmap. Hopefully, Microsoft considers this as part of their ongoing UI/UX refinements.
