Microsoft Remote Desktop is an app that allows users to connect to a remote PC or virtual apps and desktops provided by their admin. The app is designed to help users stay productive regardless of their location. To get started, users can visit the Microsoft Remote Desktop website to learn how to use the app and explore other Remote Desktop clients. Users can also submit feedback to Microsoft to help improve the app's functionality.

The app comes with several features that make it easy for users to access remote PCs running Windows Professional or Enterprise and Windows Server. Users can also access remote resources published by their IT admin and connect remotely through a Remote Desktop Gateway. The app supports Windows gestures, ensuring a rich multi-touch experience. Additionally, the app provides a secure connection to users' data and applications, and users can easily manage their connections from the Connection Center. The app also offers high-quality video and audio streaming.

To use the app, users must grant certain permissions. The app requires access to local drives and documents from the Remote Desktop session when the Redirect local storage feature is enabled. This access is optional.
