You'd think a company that runs a search engine would understand SEO...
They don't want you searching it. They want you to pay them to fix it. With Ai presumably
This would probably matter more if every search for "windows 10 problem XY" wouldn't turn up 100% garbage from their support forums anyway.
Hello my name is Ranjid, im a MSVP, but not associated with Microsoft. Have you tried reinstalling Windows or talking to your system administrator?
Have you tried SFC /scannow, dism repair, or factory reset?
But if you can’t google a solution to a problem there is no problem.
There's a reason why I never use Bing
RDP, until they change the name of the protocol. I don't think that search term is corrupted yet.
Bet: They will implement a chatbot using recall as Windows help, integrate it into something like Windows help and make a premium version of a stupid AI try to reverse engineering what you tried to do while guessing for Solutions neither the operator nor the ai understands. Is there a "remind me in 3 years"?
Can't be worse than using the letter "x".
try googling "cannot connect to windows app" instead of "cannot connect to windows remote desktop"
I hate that they renamed it on iOS but not Mac. Now my fingers can’t remember just one thing.
Not to be confused with windows apps, the branded name for UWP apps.
UWP has been deprecated for some time now. https://www.thurrott.com/dev/258377/microsoft-officially-deprecates-uwp
as it pushes the desktop-focused Windows App SDK (formerly called Project Reunion) and WinUI 3 as the future of Windows application development.
I didn't know there was a distinction between these and UWP. In any case, I'm pretty sure that these are also called windows apps.
WinUI apps are packaged in a similar fashion to traditional applications. I can deploy an exe or MSI installer, UWP required msix (store). WinUI is a framework for the more modern user interface in Windows 10/11, replacing WinForms and WPF.
Organizations never adopted the store model so it was scrapped for the most part.
I was on about the Windows App SDK part (unless I'm wrong about that too), but I included the rest of the line.
recently, I need to remote desktop from Mac to Windows, and I was searching around for products, and I came across a blog post recommending Windows App, and I had no fucking idea what it was. I thought it may have been a windows 8 app that is discontinued. The geniuses at microsoft SUCK at naming. Xbox, Xbox 360, xbox One (which was actually the third iteration, for some reason), xbox series x/s. Like wtf.

Apple is worse. Everything has the same name but gen 1, gen 2, gen 3 as a suffix.
At least the numbers are sequential there, though...
Windows 1, 2, 3, 95, 98, Me, 2000, XP, Vista, 7????, 8, 8.1, 10????, 11, 11 21H2, 11 22H2, .......
AFAIK, Windows was discontinued after Vista. Windows 7 is actually the 7^th iteration of the Microsoft version of OS/2, which was rebranded as Windows NT with the release of the third version, and as Windows sine NT with the seventh version. Windows 9 had to be skipped because a sloppy version check for Windows 95/98 would have failed.
When windows 9 comes out it will all work again.
Bold of you to think the next one will not be called Windows365
Bold of you to think I have any expectations of Microsoft to not suck. I will wait until 9 comes out before I put another windows OS on my machines. Since why after all this, would anyone trust a software company to do anything well that can not count to 10?
That already exists as their cloud virtual desktop service.
Edit: I could see them releasing a line of products and an ISO for Windows365Client that just makes the machine a thin client dedicated to rdping, or I guess Windows Apping now, to the Windows365 PC.

I work in the window industry…like for buildings. I’m used to Microsoft constantly fucking up my queries
As long as they havent renamed the back end name, can probably still search for information relating to it by referring to it as mstsc.exe.
Can't not think of Apple who have been doing simple names like this forever. But contrary to this here, it seems to work in the Apple ecosystem because over there things like that mean one thing.
“Help with numbers”
“Help with excel”
Did Microsoft leave their marketing department to AI or something? They really seem to be dropping the ball rn with app names, and recognition.

You forgot the "classic" version(s?)... God dammit I hate it so much. Why? I can't even tell the difference and I'm the reactionary kinda guy that ditched Ubuntu over the gui switch in 2012!

Christ, it was stupid when they renamed it on macOS... this is just embarrassing now.
gonna install my windows app on windows to remote into my windows and troubleshoot windows.
I knew I had remote desktop on my work laptop, because I had used it before, but the other day I was trying to open remote desktop and nothing came up, so I created an IT support ticket only for them to tell me it was now called Windows App...
