Windows 10: Remote Desktop client on Mac has an issue with getting into Windows Administrator account

I'm using Windows 11pro and a MacBook Air with Monterey. Both on my home local network.I downloaded the Microsoft Remote Desktop client app on my MacBook Air.Then I allowed RDP connections on my Windows11pro.I created a new standard user in Windows and added that user to RDP access.Then on my MacBook Air I connected over my local network to my Windows machine and was able to RDP into it.But then when I try to connect into the Administrator account it just keeps saying "The user account used to connect to "IP address" remote PC did not work. Try again."I even updated the Administrator passwor

Microsoft Remote Desktop Mac Mouse porblems

Hi Marco,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are using Remote Desktop application on Mac OS and want to simulate the PC mouse right click on your Mac Mouse.



In order to make use of the right-click inside an open session you have options of using:

• Standard PC two button USB mouse
  
• Apple Magic Mouse: To enable right-click, click
  System Preferences in the dock, click Mouse, and then enable
  Secondary click.

For additional information you can also refer the following links:
