For Mac OS X 10.11 you need definitely an older version than Microsoft Remote Desktop 10! I would need at least the Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.1, but I can't get it anywhere. I tried it on a MacMini with Mac OS 10.14 Mojave and Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 and it worked immediately. Anybody else getting complaints on the new version of Microsoft Remote Desktop App for macOS? We notice that is having connection/stability issues when connecting to an Remote Desktop Connection setup with help of a Remote Desktop Gateway Service.

Step 1 – Get the Microsoft Remote Desktop program for your Mac You will need a locally installed RDP client (a program that lets you connect to Windows computers that have RDP enabled). If you don’t have one, we recommend getting the Microsoft Remote.

All of these settings are available when setting up the initial connection to remotedesktop or virtuallab, or you can modify them later by clicking on the Edit icon on the saved connection icon after starting Remote Desktop Connection.

Display Settings

Click on the Display tab to access display settings. An important setting is the ‘Use All Monitor’ setting, if you are using multiple displays the default setting is to use all monitors available. I have found it to be better to use just one, but that is a matter of preference. Here is where you make the adjustment.

If you are using a modern Apple computer with a high-resolution Retina display, you may want to enable the option to Optimize for Retina displays to ensure the best viewing experience.

Devices & Audio

Click on the Devices & Audio tab and then use the checkboxes to tell the Remote Desktop client whether you want to share your local printers, smart cards, clipboard, and microphone with the remote Windows computer. If you share your printers, you can print from the Windows environment and have it use your local printer. If you share your clipboard, you can copy and paste text (but not files--see the next section for how to share files) between your Mac and the Windows computer. If you share your microphone, you can make it available to the Windows computer if you need it.

Folders

To share a folder on your Mac with the Windows computer to enable file transfer between the systems, click on the Folders tab, then click the checkbox to Redirect folders, and then use the plus button to add folders for redirection. If you want to share an entire drive with the remote session, such as your Mac's hard drive or an attached USB flash drive, you can select the root of the drive when you are asked to browse for a folder.

If you have multiple connections listed, as in the example above, you can set the preferences individually for each connection independently from each other.
