Different connection clients to Windows Virtual Desktop
In the official documention, it says that :
From end user point of view, we find that MSTSC is so much faster than both Remote Desktop and the web client, so if possible we would like to stick to the RDP protocol.
What is the difference between the MSTSC and the newly provided Remote Desktop client??
- I find the lack of UDP support reduces the end user experience massively.

Lionel_B4 : Hi Lionel! Can you elaborate what you mean with much faster? For features you are missing you can suggest them here. Please add a little bit of context which problem that one solves on your side: https://aka.ms/wvdfbk
- Faster meaning the feedback of every action we do on Windows 10.
Typical example is typing in a Notepad. Using MSTSC the feedback is instantaneous, while using the web client or Remote Desktop, the delay between pressing a key and the character appearing on the screen is a few hundred milliseconds. Presumably because it uses HTML5 to emulate RDP.Lionel_B4 Out of interest which datacenter is your VM located in? During testing I found that the connection is very laggy as you describe to my VMs in the EU as the gateway connection is going from the EU to the US and back to the EU
