When I click on the new Remote Desktop start menu tile for Windows 10, it activates the already-running instance. I can right-click to connect to a different computer, but my current session gets closed and it re-uses the same instance.
How can I run multiple instances of the new RDP client on Windows 10? Is there an /allowMultiple switch or something I can set?
5**Windows Store apps are single instance. Windows allows only one instance of a Windows Store app to run at a time on the system. **. UWP applications support multiple views, but every view is a single instance, but the UWP application in question does not support multiple views. Conclusion: You cannot run multiple instances of the UWP remote desktop application, because it is not possible to run multiple instances of UWP applications. – Ramhound – 2017-08-21T20:45:45.263
Ah, schucks. Ok, thank you @Ramhound. I found out that the older, "standard" Remote Desktop app is still installed on my W10 box, so I can use that. – xofz – 2017-08-21T20:49:01.693
Indeed, just search for mstsc in the start menu to get the old remote desktop. – LPChip – 2017-08-21T20:49:25.137
@Ramhound that's definitely an answer you could post. Why don't you? – LPChip – 2017-08-21T20:49:44.947
@LPChip - I already did? – Ramhound – 2017-08-21T20:53:03.993
@Ramhound my bad. you hadn't when I made the comment. +1. :) – LPChip – 2017-08-21T20:54:21.473
@LPChip - I actually was writing it, so I had, you just couldn't see it. – Ramhound – 2017-08-21T20:56:19.250
