In Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2, Remote Desktop Connection client ( mstsc.exe) introduces resolution and scaling support, among other things. There’s also the fabulous Remote Desktop Manager, which does all this and “just works”, but it’s not free Admittedly, paying for good software is something we all should do more often, but still, $84,99 for a tool I already (kind of) have as part of the OS seems too steep. Several tools, like Remote Desktop Connection Manager from Microsoft ( download) have kind of resolved this issue, but it would always mean an additional software install on whatever host system you were working on. Just small enough as not to fill your desktop (and to fit in a window, so less than your max resolution on the host), but large enough to actually be useful.
Before clicking Connect you have to scroll the slider from Large (Full screen) to something smaller. You first have to close the current connection, and start a new connection. Experienced RDP users know how to do this, but less regular users always seem to struggle with this view: Remote Desktop with default settings My number one gripe with RDP has in the past few years been the amazingly clumsy way to resize a remote session from full screen to something smaller. Today while being connected to my home server to do some development work I decided to test if the new features in Remote Desktop (RDP) work or provide any real benefits. I remember reading about this feature when Windows 8.1 was made generally available in late 2013, but I didn’t have time then to try this out.
