What’s New
This update adds a dismissible banner to the app UI to message the fact that the client will be deprecated soon. You can start using the new version of Remote Desktop today by downloading Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 from the App Store.
Breaks clipboard on Mac
Whenever I run this application on Sierra it breaks my Mac’s clipboard. If I copy and paste within my Mac it copies text I want plus a huge number of empty lines between lines I copied. It’s completely unusable because of that unless you stop using copy and paste. It’s disappointing because otherwise it’s a good app.
Why deprecate the best app?
Hey MICROSOFT — I’ve been using RDC v8 for the past year and it’s great! Thinking the upgrade would be better, I downloaded RDC v10 and used it to access our AWS VMs. The text is too blurry, regardless of the scaling settings. I went back to RDC v8 and everything’s fine. I will not be using the upgraded RDC v10 client until the display issue is fixed. Thanks.
This Version 8 is awesome ! version 10 is not working properly
Version 8 works like a charm but will not be supported longer so I tried version 10 to connect to my windows server 2012 with 5 cal users but my accounting software now tells me that it cant accept multiple terminal server connection. Back to version 8 everything works fine ! help !!
