Hello Srinud.
My impression is that the 'Azure Virtual Desktop client' in MS Store is being replaced by 'Windows App' and MacOS and iOS are replacing 'Remote Desktop Client' with 'Windows App'. What happens to 'Remote Desktop Client'?
When I search Microsoft Store for 'Azure Virtual Desktop' I see 3 options: 'Azure Virtual Desktop Preview', 'Microsoft Remote Desktop', and 'Windows App'." Will 'Remote Desktop Client' also be replaced by 'Windows App'?
We received an Azure notification email on Oct 31st stating:
"Azure Virtual Desktop app from the Microsoft Store will no longer be available for download or installation starting 27 November 2024
Starting 27 November 2024, the Azure Virtual Desktop app from the Microsoft Store will no longer be available for download or installation. Users of the Azure Virtual Desktop app need to transition to Windows App.
Azure Virtual Desktop customers will continue to receive support for the Azure Virtual Desktop app until it reaches end of support on 27 December 2024. After that date, it will no longer be eligible for support and won’t receive security or feature updates."
Our concern is that we have 1000+ thin clients that cannot run MS Store or install MSIX packages due to running Win10 LTSC so we cannot (to my knowledge) run Windows App.
Is MS deprecating the 'Remote Desktop Client application' or just making it no longer available in the MS Store?
Will we be able to continue downloading the Remote Desktop Client msi installer from the AVD client page?
Will Remote Desktop Client be blocked from connecting to AVD?
Thank you for providing some insight here.
