Microsoft RD Android Client and Time Zone Settings
I am a US Navy Nautilus Virtual Desktop (NVD) user. I was unable to log into my NVD instance using the MS RD for Android app on my Tab S9 from Hawai'i. While in San Diego, I could log in fine. However, when I returned to Hawai'i, I was no longer able to log in. Initially, I thought it was either network latency or jitter, however, I could log in using the Remote Desktop for Windows and the web portal from anywhere. To test a theory, I changed my time zone settings on my Tab S9 to Pacific time and was able to log in to my NVD instance from Hawai'i. However, once my time zone settings reverted to HST, I was unable to log into my NVD again. I have to manually change the time zone of my Tab S9 for me to access my NVD instance using the RD for Android app.
Why is Remote Desktop app from MS Store not aligned with Windows Desktop app releases?
Hi, I recently struggled to login to some new "Azure Virtual Desktop" VMs, using the MS Store version of "Remote desktop". This app is, at time of writing, the version 1.2.1810 (https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windowsserverdocs/blob/a4b5827771360b24b69b567de2a3244a067c27df/WindowsServerDocs/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/remote-desktop-clients.md) Unfortunately, if you try to connect to these VMs with your AAD account/UPN, you get a nice username/password incorrect (I am also connecting from a machine that is AAD-bound in same tenant). However, if you install the so-called "Windows Desktop" app (that is BTW also called "Remote Desktop" in your start menu...), then everything is fine. At time of writing, the app version is 1.2.2459. So while they were already few "Windows Desktop" recent revisions published by MS, the version from the Store is still the one from march 2021 (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/windows-whatsnew) Beside this authentication annoyance, I am wondering why the "Remote Desktop" MS Store version has no feature-parity with the "Windows Desktop" app, and why the one from the Store (which is basically easier to install in 1-click, then playing with a MSI download/installation...), seems always lagging behind? When you look at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/remote-desktop-features, there is here yet another naming scheme : Windows Inbox, Windows Desktop, Microsoft Store. Is there no way to harmonize the naming and articles?
