Windows 10: Remote Desktop UI, allow choosing which monitors to use.

When you have more than 2 monitors, there is no option to choose in the UI which monitors to use, i.e. If you have monitor 1, 2, 3, 4, span fullscreen only in 1, 2.

There is an option to set this by editing the .rdp file and changing the attribute "selectedmonitors", however, many consumers of RDP such as Citrix do not allow saving an .rdp file. This features could have been added to the UI, multimonitor usage has become standard.

5 monitors on Remote Desktop

I have an issue with Microsoft Remote Desktop.

I am running 5 monitors on an 580 AMD 8GB GPU.

This was working fine locally and on the remote desktop - however now when I try to connect to the remote, it only allows one monitor on the remote desktop. If I unplug any one of the monitors, I can get 4 of the monitors to work over the remote.

Not sure if this is to do with an AMD update, remote, or my GPU. I don't think it is the GPU as this powers all five perfectly well, and I also switch on my motherboards DVI port and ran one monitor off that and 4 on the GPU, and still didn't work.

Any suggestions welcome....
