Microsoft has launched the Windows 365 Link mini PC and replaced the Remote Desktop app with the new Windows App, available on all platforms. This transition includes a major user interface redesign and additional features like passkey support for enhanced security. The Windows App acts as a unified access point for Microsoft’s virtualization solutions, seeing over 425 million hours of use. However, user feedback suggests confusion surrounding the new name, and the old app's phase-out continues, with a complete end by May 2025.
According to Microsoft, the Windows App offers several improvements over the old Remote Desktop app. In addition to a modernized user interface and a better user experience, the Android version offers support for Chrome OS. The addition of passkey support provides better and more modern security and authentication.
Microsoft reports that the new Windows App has already registered over 425 million hours of use across all platforms. Yet not everyone is equally enthusiastic about the change. Many users find the new name 'Windows App' particularly confusing, as opposed to the clearer 'Remote Desktop App'.
