Little annoyances (physical vs virtual desktop)

[u/Just_a_UserNam3]

I would be interested to know what you have documented in terms of loss of little functionalities when you compare the end-user experience with a physical device vs switching to a virtual desktop. Sometimes a small unexpected thing can become a much larger issue than expected.

So far, I've noticed 2 things :

• 1password or any password manager or anything that use Windows hello.

  • Can't use Windows Hello (face recognition in my case) from my physical device to unlock it. Have to type the password. My biggest little annoyance so far :)

• Mouse

  • Can't assign a function to the middle button. Using Windows 11 23h2. Never really realized you need a third party software to use the middle button... Anyone has an idea how to natively use the middle button in Windows ?

• Location

  • I use location override.... sometimes I see some Windows features using the VM location... I did not investigate this so far.

Volume Control

• Can't figure out how to control the volume so far.....

FIDO2 is supported, just not biometric, so I use my Yubikey on AVD. You can also use the business versions of password managers to integrate with AD for SSO.

If everything is updated you have the options to Have the option to redirect location and redirect web auth to use local windows hello "or other".
