I work in the window industry…like for buildings. I’m used to Microsoft constantly fucking up my queries
I saw this on my work computer the other day and I couldn’t figure out what the fuck it was. This explains it. Wtf
I knew I had remote desktop on my work laptop, because I had used it before, but the other day I was trying to open remote desktop and nothing came up, so I created an IT support ticket only for them to tell me it was now called Windows App...
This is funny and sad at the same time
Good luck even opening it without signing in to a Microsoft account.
"Fuck you, sign in." -Microsoft
And on Windows they removed the functionality to remote into other machines.
Only business accounts for now.
But not for Android, iOS/MacOS.
Like whaaaaaat???

So frustrating. I've installed it on a few PCs to access remote desktop services and I can't figure out how. The old app says to use Windows app as it's going EoL. Ok. But how? Looks like it's meant to connect to windows 365 only .. or ik a total idiot.

This is some Twitter-tier rebranding failure.
I really feel like Microsoft is on a quest to make windows as non user friendly as possible. Everything is hidden behind menus, the search function barely works, the taskbar can't be moved, they're constantly changing program names and can't forget cramming a useless chat bot into the os again. It's just a never ending stream of choices that make literally no sense from the perspective of the end user.

gonna install my windows app on windows to remote into my windows and troubleshoot windows.
Wait, are they doing a Boeing over there at Microsoft? Did they take all of the marketing people and put them in charge? Surely they had people that work there that saw this problem instantly but they were either ignored or they said nothing which says a lot about what they've got going on internally at Microsoft.

Just the other day there was a post in a Linux memes com about how everything was called an app now.
Yeah my dad's boss had this issue a couple weeks ago. His remote desktop app disappeared from his phone and he had no idea where. Figured out after looking for a whole day that they renamed it to this stupid bullshit.
These assholes are prepping up with a cloud service with a name change like that.
Bet: They will implement a chatbot using recall as Windows help, integrate it into something like Windows help and make a premium version of a stupid AI try to reverse engineering what you tried to do while guessing for Solutions neither the operator nor the ai understands. Is there a "remind me in 3 years"?
Try looking for anything related to "element" or "matrix"... Completely impossible
"gimp, liquify plugin"
