Microsoft is killing Remote Desktop: Use these 4 free alternatives instead

Microsoft is officially killing off the Remote Desktop app. It’s unfortunate since it is/was one of the easier ways to connect to your PC while on vacation. System admins also rely on it to connect to PCs and servers remotely. However, starting May 27th, 2025, the RDP app for Windows will no longer be available in the Microsoft Store. It also won’t be supported or available for installation. Instead, the company is moving RDP to the free Windows App (yes, a terrible name), which also includes other features.
