Hi,

In December, we have switched from the Remote Desktop app to the Windows App as the platform to connect to the AVD. How do we ensure that the Windows App client is automatically updated or how can we manually update the client to ensure that it is the latest version? Please advise.

Thank you.

    Hi @Syed Harith Zaki,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

    You won't receive automatic updates at this time when downloading Windows App from the direct links in environments where the Microsoft Store is blocked. To update Windows App to new versions, return to this article to and use the same direct links.
