Windows 10: RDP Drop Down Menu Issue from Android or IOS on Windows 10 Professional 1803 (17134.191)

Philt123 · Jul 31, 2018

Hi all,

I have an issue with Remote Desktop from either Android or IOS. I currently use the official Microsoft Remote Desktop client on both an ipad and a Samsung tablet.

The issue is- one of the applications I use, when you click on the Menu Bar the options do not show i.e. if you click on 'File' I should see 'Save As', 'Backup' etc. Very occasional if I move the mouse pointer down the menu appears, but there seems to be an issue with rendering it on the screen. I tried a few MS app like Word and they all seem to be ok.

If I remote desktop from a Windows 10 PC I don't get the issue- so it seems to be just using the Android and IOS Clients.

FYI- I've updated everything to the latest versions and patches etc.

I have seen a thread about Windows Server and changing a group policy to try and fix the issue, but the Windows 10 Pro I'm connecting to is standalone. I've also seen a thread saying the issue is fixed on the latest insider builder??

It sounds more like a client issue because it works ok from a PC.

Any help appreciated.

:)

Microsoft Edge now available for iOS and Android

In October, we introduced Microsoft Edge for iOS and Android in preview, in response to your request to make Microsoft Edge work well with your phones. A special THANK YOU goes out to each of you—hundreds of thousands of you—who downloaded, test-drove, and sent feedback on the preview apps. Your ideas and passion have contributed to an even better app experience.

We are pleased to announce that we’re removing the “preview” label from our Android and iOS app.

Starting today, Microsoft Edge is available for iOS (Apple Store) and Android (Google Play Store) as a free download.

Microsoft Edge for iOS and Android brings familiar features like your Favorites, Reading List, New Tab Page, Reading View, and Roaming Passwords across your PC and phone, so, no matter the device, your browsing goes with you. But what makes Microsoft Edge really stand out is the ability to continue on your PC, which enables you to immediately open the page you’re looking at right on your PC—or save it to work on later.

And thanks to your feedback, we’ve added some new and popular features since launching the preview mobile app:

Roaming Passwords – Save a new password on your phone, and it follows you to your PC. Get to what you need, regardless of where you are or what device you are currently working on.

Dark theme – You can now enjoy this popular theme on your phone, in addition to your PC.

On market and language availability, Microsoft Edge for iOS is available in the United States (English), China (Simplified-Chinese), France (French) and the UK (English). Microsoft Edge for Android is available in the United States (English), Australia (English) Canada (English and French), China (Simplified-Chinese), France (French), India (English) and the UK (English). We look forward to bringing MS Edge for iOS and Android to additional markets and languages over time!

We are committed to empowering people and organizations to achieve more. And Microsoft Edge for iOS and Android is another step in that journey. While we’re excited to remove the preview label along with the download restrictions, we are more excited about all that’s ahead. We have a long list of new features to build and improvements to make. We hope you will try the app alongside your Windows 10 PCs and provide your ideas on what can make it even better. As has been our approach with Windows 10, we’ll continue to try new things, learn and build the best experiences possible.

UWP porting guidance for Android and iOS developers

Today, we are pleased to introduce a new app development concept map for app developers that aligns software development concepts across the iOS, Android, and Windows platforms. App developers new to Windows 10, who are already familiar with Android or iOS, will be able to use this reference to quickly orient themselves on building for the UWP.

Like the 2nd century B.C. Rosetta Stone tablet, which enabled translation between three different ancient languages, this Windows app concept map can be used to translate ideas between Android, iOS, and Windows, making porting much easier between platforms. You can use the concept map side-by-side with other useful resources found in our porting apps to Windows 10 section on MSDN. Reviewing this guide will help you port your apps to Windows and expose them to a larger user base.

Excerpt from the guidance document: a side-by-side map of data concepts in Android, iOS, and Windows.

The concept mapping guidance is broken out into 15 sections to make navigation between concepts and platforms simple:

User-interface – overview of controls and styling– overview of controls and styling

Navigation and app structure – toolbars, layouts and back buttons

Custom inputs – speech recognition and beyond

Data – databases, REST calls and web sockets

Tooling – comparing IDEs

App lifecycle – suspend and resume events as well as background tasks

Performance – threading, async calls and performance best practices

Monetization – in-app purchases and trials

Adapting to multiple platforms – responsive layout and device capability testing

Notifications – push and scheduled notifications as well as display widgets

Media capture and rendering – video and audio

Sensors – accessing raw and processed sensor data

Location and mapping – maps, geofencing and geocoding

App-to-app communication – talking between different apps

Software design – overview of preferred design patterns by platform

At a glance, you’ll be able to see the difference between platforms and identify which features and functionality are available to each. The guidance is laid out in a convenient table that let you easily locate and learn more about the platform details you are most interested in. Android supports app widgets, for example, but iOS does not. iOS supports badges, on the other hand, while Android does not. Windows supports badges and also has a tile system.

Beyond development concept mapping, it’s worth noting that the Dev Center provides a large array of additional resources to help app developers bring their existing code to Windows 10. Here are just a few links to help get you started:

What’s a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app?

Introduction to UWP Design

Porting Apps to Windows 10

Bringing your mobile apps to the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) provides new reach for your existing code beyond mobile. For iOS developers, it’s also worth looking at the Windows Bridge for iOS, which makes it easier to use your existing Objective-C codebase on Windows.
