Memory leak in Remote Desktop version 1.2.5559.0 (x64) and a few versions back
Microsoft Remote Desktop has a memory leak. This started a few versions back; I thought maybe it would be fixed in succeeding versions, but it has not. You can watch with Task Manager and see it slow...
After noticing Remote Desktop was again consuming memory, I closed my remote session and closed the Remote Desktop app. Then I tried to close the background app via the System Tray, by right-clicking (and left-clicking) on the Remote Desktop icon, but it was unresponsive; no context menu appeared:
At this point it was consuming over 5GB of memory, without any remote sessions. I had to kill it via Task Manager.
This app has issues, Microsoft!
