Microsoft is replacing the old RDC client app with a new Windows app and the new and improved features can work in a domain-based or home environment.

Microsoft has announced that, as of 27 May 2025, the Remote Desktop app for Windows—available through the Microsoft Store—will no longer be supported or available for download and installation.

Microsoft introduced this functionality way back when they released Windows XP in 2001. With each iteration of Windows, the Remote Desktop function has also become more refined, stable and effective.

While the Remote Desktop Protocol is only available on Windows 11 Pro, you can install the Remote Desktop app to establish a connection on the Pro or Home editions of Windows, including Windows 10.

Microsoft announced that it will drop support for the Remote Desktop app (available via the Microsoft Store) on May 27 and replace it with its new Windows App.

The new Windows app lets you connect to a remote desktop session using your Mac, Android, and iOS devices & access Azure PCs, VMs, and local PCs.
