Microsoft is replacing Remote Desktop with its new Windows app | The Verge
According to Microsoft, after May 27, 2025, 'Microsoft Remote Desktop' distributed in the Microsoft Store will no longer be supported and will no longer be available for download or installation. In addition, after May 27, access to Azure Virtual Desktop , Windows 365 , and Microsoft Dev Box via Microsoft Remote Desktop will be blocked.
For this reason, Microsoft recommends migrating to Windows App. Windows App, released in September 2024, is a gateway app for securely connecting to 'Azure Virtual Desktop', 'Windows 365', 'Microsoft Dev Box', ' Remote Desktop Services ', and 'Remote PC', allowing you to operate Windows apps regardless of private network or cloud.

In addition to integrating multiple services into one app, the Windows App also includes 'easy account switching,' 'improved device management functions for IT administrators,' 'support for Windows 365 Frontline ,' and 'support for Relayed RDP Shortpath , which enables remote desktop even on networks that are normally not allowed.' In addition, the user interface is unified for PC and mobile versions, allowing you to enjoy a consistent experience on any platform, whether it is macOS, iOS, iPadOS, or Windows.
