Five more Microsoft apps nobody uses will have the uninstall option enabled soon.

    Why remote desktop? I can understand the rest. But who uninstalls default apps and doesn’t use remote desktop?

      Very few people use remote desktop.

        Very few people bother removing all the default apps in the first place.

        The type of high caliber nerd to care about a pre installed app that sits dormant and uses a few MB of storage probably already uses remote desktop often enough they’d want to keep it.

        I would have used it but it’s only available on Pro/Enterprise versions. But that led me to finding Parsec so all ended well.

      Remote Desktop App vs Remote Desktop Connection.

        The remote desktop app isn’t installed by default. At least I’ve never seen it installed by default.

      Remote Desktop is dead. Azure killed it. TeamViewer is the replacement (and yes you have to pay for it) or you pick another third party vendor for your RDP needs.

        People still use team viewer?

          Scammers notably of course, but it’s Microsoft’s sanctioned solution to them removing RDP capability with Azure. I’m super interested in finding out what cut they get or how much TeamViewer payed for that.

          I do, though it’s rare lately. What do you use instead?

            A VPN and RDP.

        The only exposure I have to windows now is in an Amazon virtual environment so I want aware of this. It seems strange seeing as RDP is a simple and robust solution… Unlike TeamViewer.
