  1. Issue with Dual Monitor Setup in Microsoft Remote Desktop App


    I am using the Microsoft Remote Desktop app not the Remote Desktop Connection app, but I am unable to get dual monitors to work. I can't access any Display settings within the Remote Desktop app. While I can connect remotely without issues and my second monitor is properly connected and functional, I cannot use both monitors during the remote session. I followed the instructions in this link https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/remote-desktop-not-allowing-the-use-of-dual/c82f8d69-96b3-45f8-8a67-df5cdacd49a3 to right-click on the remote desktop and disable the default setti

    Remote Desktop Not Allowing the Use of Dual Monitors

    I have a Microsoft 11 Home computer and am using the Microsoft Remote Desktop app (not the Remote Desktop Connection app). I've been working from home since the pandemic, and have finally invested in a new set-up, but I cannot get the dual monitors to work on my new computer despite it working just fine on my previous laptop (MacOS). I cannot pull up any sort of Display settings on the Remote Desktop app, although I was able to do this on my old laptop. I'm able to remotely connect just fine, and the other monitor itself works and is connected correctly, but whenever I try to remotely connect and use both monitors, I am unable to do so.

    What am I doing wrong that isn't letting me set up the dual monitors on the Remote Desktop app? Thanks in advance.

    Issue with Dual Monitor Setup in Microsoft Remote Desktop App

    Microsoft Remote Desktop APP (NOT Connection!) Multiple Monitors

    Hello! I am an Independent Advisor, I would love to help you out!

    Just to make sure you are talking about the Microsoft remote desktop app for windows and not a mobile platform correct?

    Unfortunately, I am not finding a way to do it in the Microsoft remote desktop app from the app store.

    However, the built-in remote desktop app "Remote Desktop Connection" does have a way to do multiple monitors.

    Here is a forum showing the answer to this as the first reply:
