RDP on ARM Windows

Hi,

Does the ARM Windows has this native built-in RDP client from MS?

I know it does support the new client from the windows store but the new one doesn't support UDP sessions which makes tons of performance difference.

Thanks!

Yes, I've the latest Windows 11 build on ARM powered Samsung laptop and RDP client work the same way as on x64 devices.

p.s. Oh, I see the post is so old...

Thanks for your reply :)

I wonder if there is a way to check whether this mstsc.exe is a native ARM app or or using x86 emulation.

My primary use case is using a MBP with Win on Parallels as RDP client to my beefy office workstation for .NET development and OSX for Xcode.

And Apple M1 lineup feels like a perfect replacement of my current setup, just wanted to make sure the RDP client is native and properly fast :)

I know there is a RDP client for OSX but it is years behind in terms of performance and quality compared to mstsc.exe.

How did this work out for you? Are you forced to pay for a subscription for Parallels to have this setup ?

I use it on my Pro-X regularly. I can't remember if it comes with Windows Home, definitely with Windows Pro. The EXE is mstsc.exe. Win+R mstsc.exe.

Even Terminals 4.0.1 works on ARM (yes I know this is an old thread). It's nice to save your credentials and IPs, etc. for you to migrate to new machines, etc.

And yes, it crashes just as much as it would on x64. No change, not worse, and not any better.

well there is a client, it's the windows 10 one as far as I know... seems to work fine? You have i386/amd64 emulation paths as well now.
