On May 27, 2025, Microsoft will retire<\/a> the modern “Remote Desktop”<\/strong> application for Windows 11 and 10. Users relying on this app to connect to computers in the local network, Microsoft 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, or Microsoft Dev Box should switch to the “Windows App.”<\/p>\n

Currently, Windows offers two remote connection tools, including the modern “Remote Desktop” app and the legacy “Remote Desktop Connection” (mstsc). The legacy version available for over two decades, will remain supported beyond May 27.<\/p>\n

In contrast, the modern “Remote Desktop” app, introduced with Windows 10, will retire and be removed from the Microsoft Store after this date.<\/p>\n

Microsoft has already retired<\/a> the “Remote Desktop” versions for Android, iOS, and macOS in favor of the “Windows App.” Currently, the “Windows App” for Windows 11<\/a> and 10 does not support Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) for local connections, but this feature is planned for future updates. This could also mean that the app may finally get support for personal accounts since, at this time, you can only access the Windows App with a school or work account.<\/p>\n

The company recommends using the legacy “Remote Desktop Connection” app until the new “Windows App” receives the necessary updates to support local connections. For users connecting to Remote Desktop Services via the “Remote Desktop” app, it’s recommended to use the RemoteApp and Desktop Connection until the “Windows App” is fully updated.<\/p>\n

In the case that you rely on the app to connect to your different devices in the network, remember that even if Microsoft leaves the operating system without a remote desktop client, you can always use third-party solutions, such as RustDesk<\/a> and Chrome Remote Desktop<\/a>.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
You can even use apps like Remote Ripple<\/a> to make local connections using TightVNC.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
