Microsoft Remote Desktop app completely broken after udpate

[karsten]

The Microsoft Remote Desktop app from the Mac Appstore updated and is completely broken connecting to a Win10 Pro desktop. Graphics artifacts and glitches make it unusable. The release notes mention updates to video encoding used so I assume it's something to do with that.

Is there any way to disable hardware acceleration for it? I see people mentioning this fixes the PC version when this happens. Also the beta version is doing the same thing :/ thanks

Are you referring to 10.2.6 released 2019-01-28? I'm still on 10.2.4 and it works fine.

yeah. I needed to disable AVC completely on the host to get it to be usable. It's described here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com...AVC-H-264-improvements-in-Windows/ba-p/249588
