Just did that at my workplace, and the Windows App (at least for MacOS), was just all around shittier. It removed all of the previously setup VMs and standalone desktops staff would remote into for certain programs not compatible in an Apple environment, and then it killed the shared folder connection between devices, so for a short while there, we had to use OneDrive as a “quick and dirty” workaround. Finally got it working, but it took the full removal of the Windows App, including digging into every Library folder to delete any straggler files. Oh and it also would forget the reconnected remote sessions we’d set up, so that every time you closed it, you’d need to recreate the remote session.
Can you tell I am pissed? Least it was a one time sitch so far, but damn.
Yeah I was just about to comment the same, that app has already been replaced in the Apple App Store at least for iPads and auto nuked the old configurations. Created a ton of confusion when people lost all their old remote settings and/or couldn’t even find the app on the work iPads.
Just searching for it gets a bit silly since that new app is literally called Windows App. I’d be searching for “remote” something but nope, that’s not what it’s called anymore.
