Windows 10: No use all monitor setting with new Microsoft Remote Desktop client

No use all monitors setting with new Microsoft Remote Desktop client, not the built-in RDC. This is the new download from the Microsoft Store.. I have users who are unable to use the dual screens as in the local client. End users cannot use their home dual monitors

:)

 

How to use multiple monitors with the new Windows 10 Remote Desktop app?

This question is not about the ubiquitous RDP client that has been on windows for many years, this question is regarding the new Windows 10 Remote Desktop app, which must have been packaged in an update at some
point.

The app I'm writing about can be found on the windows store, and is suggested as a client on the second row of this page Remote Desktop clients next
to "Windows Store"

I would like to be able to use both of my monitors at home while I am working remotely, to utilize the two monitors at my workstation.

The old RDP program that has existed for well over a decade has an option under the display settings that says "Use all my monitors for the remote session" which works perfectly well to this end.

Either the new client does not have this option, or I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know if there's a setting I've missed, or perhaps a workaround that does not involve stretching the window of the session to span both of my monitors?

Remote desktop multiple monitors

Hi AsadJamal1,

I am an independent advisor and a Microsoft user like you, and I would be happy to help you out with this.

When you open the Remote Desktop Connection client on the demo PC, under the Display tab, under Display configuration, do you have the setting enabled for "Use all my monitors for the remote session?"

Also, does the demo PC also have 3 monitors, or is it a different type of monitor set up?

I hope this has helped you. If this is not what you are looking for, please reply and let us know and we would be happy to look into providing some different suggestions!

Regards,
