Key Points:
- The Windows App on Windows now supports remote PC connections, providing a unified experience alongside existing support for Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, and Microsoft Dev Box.
- This new remote PC connection feature replaces the retired Remote Desktop app and has been generally available since testing began in March.
- The Windows App is also accessible on macOS, iPadOS, Android, and web browsers, extending the reach of remote PC connectivity across multiple platforms.
- To use remote PC connections, users must enable Remote Desktop on their target PC, update the Windows App, and add the remote PC by name or IP address within the app.
- Although the classic Remote Desktop Connection tool (mstsc.exe) remains supported, Microsoft is encouraging users to transition to the unified Windows App for remote access.
