  • Added support for the Azure Resource Manager-integrated version of Windows Virtual Desktop.
  • Added support for x64 and ARM64.
  • Updated the side panel design to full screen.
  • Added support for light and dark modes.
  • Added functionality to subscribe and connect to sovereign cloud deployments.
  • Added functionality to enable backup and restore of workspaces (bookmarks) in release to manufacturing (RTM).
  • Updated functionality to use existing Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tokens during the subscription process to reduce the number of times users must sign in.
  • Updated subscription can now detect whether you're using Windows Virtual Desktop or Windows Virtual Desktop (classic).
  • Fixed issue with copying files to remote PCs.
  • Fixed commonly reported accessibility issues with buttons.

The update appears to only be available for those enrolled in Insider testing for apps at the moment. Still, it's a nice set of upgrades that should make their way to everyone soon. If you're a tester, you can download the latest version of Microsoft Remote Desktop from the Microsoft Store now.

FlexiSpot BS10 office chair review: Ergonomic and customizable comfort

I previously used the FlexiSpot BS9, which I enjoyed, but found its design a little uncomfortable due to lower back pain issues I've suffered from since I was young. The BS10 is designed to help those with back issues, like myself! So, I've been using the FlexiSpot BS10 for a little over a month at this point, and this is my review!
