MacOS Disconnect Shortcut Bad Behavior

whatisinaname · ‎Apr 15 2024

Please make cmd+w passthrough as ctrl+w. I keep trying to close a tab on my browser and I close my session. This really sucks because it's muscle memory for Mac users. I have the setting for use Mac shortcuts checked, but apparently this is one that was missed. Please correct this. Maybe do cmd+shift+w to disconnect? I don't want to press a very common shortcut and have my session close on me unexpectedly. Bad behavior!

Since I installed the latest version of Sonoma I am not able to print anything anymore when using from my remote software.

As a mobile developer I work with both Mac and PC. I use Remote Desktop to connect to a devbox from my Mac for developing Android apps. It would be really nice to have USB pass through on Remote Desktop app so that I can debug from the workspace to the USB connected physical phone.

This week I upgraded my Mac to Sonoma and Microsoft RDP for Mac (10.9.2) is now experiencing microphone audio disconnects when I am in a remote Teams meeting via RDP. When I initially connect to Teams, video, audio input and audio output is working correctly. After a few minutes, Teams will report audio device microphone is disconnected and then no-one can hear me speak. My headphones (audio out) and video still continue to function. If I terminate my RDP session and start again, I see the same behavior. Microsoft RDP is a solid product that I have been using for over a decade, hopefully this issue can be resolved soon.

In the last week or so, I have repeatedly had to re-add the workspace URL for Windows 365 (the "subscription URL" collected from windows365.microsoft.com) to Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac. The issue started with the previous version of the app, but has continued to happen about once-a-day since installing the latest version (10.9.0 build 2140) from the Mac App Store. Every time the workspace is re-added, it needs to be reauthorized by signing in via OAuth again and any custom settings for the workspace need to be reconfigured. Is this a known issue or am I the lone recipient of this particular cosmic annoyance? :face_with_tears_of_joy:

Using Mac OS X 12.6.8 and Remote Desktop 10.9.2. Beginning two versions back (10.9.0?), copy and paste works for a while after launching RD, but it eventually fails when copying from the remote machine to the local Mac. The failure manifests as a spinning beach ball in the application I'm pasting into. The paste operation eventually times out, but the quickest way to recover is to quit Remote Desktop and start the whole operation over again with the copy.

Starting in the last version or two, I frequently get the "spinning wheel of death" after using Remote Desktop for Mac to copy from the remote Windows client. This manifests when I switch back to the mac and try to switch to Slack -- Slack will be frozen for 30 seconds to several minutes with the colorful spinning pinwheel. Many people have been experiencing this issue, both recently and in the last several years: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-virtual-desktop-feedback/copy-and-paste-from-microsoft-remote-desktop-to-mac-causes/idi-p/3947326 https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-virtual-desktop-feedback/microsoft-remote-desktop-for-mac-copy-and-paste-works-a-while/idi-p/3930905 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/565240/microsoft-remote-desktop-freezes-constantly-apple Please look into this, it's a productivity killer. And if there's anything I can grab for you that will help (like a snapshot of a process using the Mac activity monitor) please let me know. EDIT: I just attached a sample and spindump of Slack (the macOS process that gets the spinning wheel of death after copying text on the remote windows machine).

I'm having issues after upgrading to Mac OS Sonoma with audio disconnecting when using MS RDP to access a Windows PC and use Teams. When I initially connect to Teams, audio input and audio output is working correctly. After a few minutes, Teams will report audio device microphone is disconnected or not working and then no-one can hear me speak. I can still hear them, but they can't hear me. If I leave the meeting and re-join it works again for a few minutes and then the same issue happens again. Please fix ASAP.

It seems that the Microphone when being used to remote into windows pc from MacOS Sonoma drops. Either in google meets, Teams meetings or using windows voice recorder when using the microphone from built in Mac Mic or USB microphones and remote into a a windows environment the microphone drops off. Giving an error that there is no mic if you close the application and relaunch the mic will be enabled but only for a short time then the Mic will drop again. Tested on M1 Mac mini and M1 MacBook Pro both running the Latest MacOS Sonoma and using Microsoft Remote Desktop Version 10.9.2 (2147) . tested by doing a Voice recording using Voice recorder and leaving on for 30 seconds , 45 seconds, 60 seconds up to 2 mins unable to determine the time interval it took but within these test the issue is reproduced. Any one with any suggestions on how to resolve this ?

Hello, The copy and paste functionality doesn't work anymore. It used to work; i have the feeling it stopped working since the last update of Microsoft Remote Desktop. EDIT for clarification: Copy and Paste from remote machine to local machine does not work. I tried: Setting (Edit PC > Devices & Audio) Clipboard mode to disabled, reconnected a machine and disconnected from the machine. Setting (Edit PC > Devices & Audio) Clipboard mode to Bidirectional, reconnected a machine. Setting (Edit PC > Devices & Audio) Clipboard mode to Remove to local only. Remove Microsoft Remote Desktop and reinstalled it. Deleted the running proces on target host named rdpclip.exe and restarted rdpclip.exe Machine: iMac Retina 5k, 27 inch, 2017 Software: macOS Monterey version 12.1 Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac, version 10.9.0.

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 use RD from MACOS Version 14.0 (23A344) Sonorama. Everything worked correctly until the update, after it, the microphone when used from Teams works for a few seconds and after that a message appears saying the microphone does not work. The video, clipboard and other elements work without problems but the microphone does not, If from MACOS I try to measure the isolation level of the microphone, it still does not work. This is very important to me since my job depends on the microphone working to a local machine via RDP.

Recently, my Remote Desktop application has been losing my configuration daily. I have to click "Add Workspace" and put the URL in again. Surprisingly, this even happens while I am actively connected to my remote workstation. I'm on Mac OS Ventura 13.4, and recently updated the client to 10.9.0(2140), hoping that would fix the issue. It did not.

Hello, I use Microsoft Remote Desktop regularly on both Windows (Surface Laptop 5) and macOS (MacBook Pro M1 Pro), and the macOS client has some significant issues not present on the windows version. I was wondering if this is due to some misconfiguration on my end or the features just work better on windows. Here is a list of issues that I face in the macOS version of remote desktop but not on windows: - Low quality audio and static noise on any sound coming from the remote desktop (including teams) - High latency in inputs when multiple monitors are connected (connected to the same network as compared with Windows) - Videos from any source (sharepoint, youtube, teams) do not play - Degraded webcam quality in teams compared to native macOS Thanks! I'm using the 10.9.6 beta version of the macOS client. Would be glad to hop on a call or give more information if necessary.

Really frustrating that saved Workspaces disappears in Microsoft Remote Desktop 10.9.0 (macOs 13.5.1). Not like this in previous MRD versions.

In the Microsoft Remote Desktop MacOS app, if you want to login with a Microsoft Entra (aka Azure Active Directory) account, you will get an error message saying you must disable Network Level Authentication (NLA). The error code I get is 0x3107. I am able to get around this error by editing the RDP config file and setting the enablerdsaadauth and targetisaadjoined values from "0" to "1". It would be immensely helpful if this option could be added in the Microsoft Remote Desktop GUI. It looks like all the functionality is there, it just needs a GUI checkbox. This option already exists in Windows Remote Desktop if you enable the "use web account" option on the advanced tab. I realize this is not an issue for Azure Virtual Desktop, because the config is downloaded and set up automatically. But for everyone who is using Microsoft Entra that may need to provide instructions for users to set this up, the option would make life a lot easier.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, bei meiner Remote Desktop App verliere ich bei jedem Start mein Workspace. Der Fehler trat das erste mal vor knapp 4 Wochen auf. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit den Cache am Mac zu löschen oder eine andere Alternative um mich zu meinem Cloud PC zu verbinden? Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Claudia Ruhrmann

I had to reset my office identity on MBP recently, which caused me to reauth on the Remote Desktop Mac app. This was fine, but after that i saw that my Workspace feed settings was nuked/removed (i am guessing as a result of losing auth). A cause for re-auth should not reset other settings, it should prompt for auth, and preserve existing settings once auth is restored.

We are using the Microsoft RDP client for a lab product we are working on. On windows, we can encrypt the password and store it in the RDP client, thereby launching the user directly into the VM. On Mac, there seems to be no way to pass in a password in the RDP file or via the command line. Are there any plans to add such a feature? It would be nice if our users didn't have to copy and paste the password in.

Microsoft Remote Desktop client for Mac has a long and ghastly history. (Yes ghastly is the right word and this is not a typo where 'glorious' should have been used.) Version 1.x had a bug whereby anybody using a Mac with a non-US keyboard was tortured by the software failure to map keys correctly to the Windows session. The most infamous examples of this where that the Mac " (speech marks) key would generate an @ (at symbol) in Windows and vice versa although a number of other incorrect key mappings also apply. Version 2.x did finally fix this bug. Microsoft then bought a 3rd party RDC client and this became the next Microsoft official client and I cannot remember if this was released as version 5.x or 7.x. Regardless as this was new/different code it REINTRODUCED THE SAME BUG!!! Note: I have just reproduced this with Microsoft Remote Desktop 10.8.1 (2048) running under macOS Ventura 13.2.1 with as mentioned a UK Mac keyboard. Literally thousands and thousands of Mac users throughout the world except the USA have been complaining about this ever since. When I last was personally victimised by Microsoft with this issue many years ago I also reported this but I found that the Parallels Remote Desktop Client for Mac did not have this bug. The reason being it was not written by American programmers who are wilfully ignorant regarding international keyboard layouts. Unfortunately I now once more have to use an RDC client and I am finding that the Parallels client whilst still available is not connecting to the Microsoft RDC server whereas the Microsoft client does successfully connect even if it then inflicts cruel and unusual punishment in the form of this now ancient keyboard mapping error. I have however been able to prove that the RDC client for Mac available here - www.jumpdesktop.com DOES connect to the same Microsoft RDC server and DOES NOT have this keyboard mapping bug. However the JumpDesktop client is a chargeable product. Microsoft over the decades has in a number of cases committed grave offences against Mac-kind but in more recent times has been comparatively friendly to the Mac using community. Why therefore is this bug which affects potentially BILLIONS of people around the world i.e. anyone who does not have a Mac with an American keyboard still not been fixed? PLEASE FIX IT AT LONG LAST! How to reproduce. 1. Connect a non-US keyboard to a Mac, this could be a USB or Bluetooth keyboard, it does not have to be an Apple brand keyboard but genuine Apple keyboards would be the most common use. 2. The Mac should be configured to use the relevant keyboard layout - in my case this is UK but I know that it affects all other non-US layouts e.g. French, German, etc. 3. Connect to a Windows RDC session 4. On the Windows desktop open an app like Wordpad 5. On the Mac type in to the Wordpad document abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz these all map correctly. Now on the Mac type the @ (at) symbol, in Window you will instead see the " (speech marks) symbol, now on the Mac type the " (speech marks) symbol, in Windows an @ (at) symbol will appear. As mentioned other keys like the \ (back slash) are also incorrectly mapped. 6. Download the trial version of the JumpDesktop client 7. Use JumpDesktop to connect to the SAME Windows RDC server 8. Repeat the same typing test in to Wordpad, this time all the keys are correctly mapped with no settings having to be altered either on the Mac or in Windows. Conclusion, Microsoft programmers are at fault.
