I think this was missed in all the excitement of a new Windows 10 Mobile build being released to Windows Insiders this past Friday.

The Remote Desktop Services blog revealed yesterday that the team has released a new Universal Windows Platform build of their Remote Desktop app for Windows 10.

This is a very robust update to the previous Remote Desktop app with many features such as default user accounts for remote computers and Remote Gateway acess/management.

You can read the lengthy walk though over at the Test Drive the new Microsoft Remote Desktop Preview app for Windows 10 post at the RDS blog.

In the meantime I have a screenshot gallery here so you can see the app in action.

 

 

About the Author

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
