    The company is now run by Copilot and its in charge of naming products.

    The rdp client was renamed “Windows App”, remember? So this is a step up.

      Microsoft can never name products… Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox one, Xbox series x, Xbox series s… Hell I’m currently watching agdq and can’t tell you the best one, imagine a grandmother trying to buy a gift for her grandchild. Atleast it’s Playstation 1, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Playstation 5 obvious which one is newest. Or Windows 3.1, nt, 3.1 with workgroups, 95, 98, 2000, me, xp, 7, vista, 8, 10, 11…wtf?

      It’s so fucking bad.

      I’m currently having an issue on my work machine where my Windows App doesn’t close properly, and will hang the next time I try to connect to a virtual desktop unless I kill it in the task manager.

      Imagine the crazy vague answers you get when you search for “Windows App won’t close”.

      Wait, let me say that this is not accurate without defending Microsoft (fuck them). The rdp client hasn’t been renamed, to my knowledge. What was renamed to Windows app was the other product very confusingly named “remote desktop client”, which was a Microsoft Store app meant to access things like Azure Virtual Desktop, their cloud Windows service, etc. Yes, incredibly confusing product naming from Microsoft, as usual.
