Issue on MacOS 15 with Windows App (RDP) connection

We have found an issue with failing RDP connections from the Windows App on MacOS 15 computers.

This issue occurs on multiple MacOS 15 devices of various models.

When the computer boots, in the System Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network, for the Windows App, Local Network is toggled ON. However, when attempting to RDP to a Windows device from the Windows App, the connection fails. The only solution we've found is to return to the Local Network settings and toggle the Windows App OFF then back ON. This then allows successful RDP sessions.

We have submitted a report of this issue to Apple, but will likely not receive a response. We wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this and if they've found a solution.

We are looking for a permanent solution to this.

    Hello,

    I've been noticing this issue since September 2024. Initially, users just needed to allow local network access to the Windows app to resolve it. See Microsoft Remote Desktop upgrade for use with IOS 15.0 Sequoia - Microsoft Community

    The issue was addressed in Windows App version 11.0.5:

    However, I've observed different behavior now based on your description. Could you please let me know your macOS and Windows app versions?

    The latest macOS version is macOS Sequoia 15.2, and the newest version of the Windows app for macOS is 11.0.9.

    I'm following this thread to see if others encounter the same issue. You might also consider sending feedback to Microsoft via the Feedback Hub.

    Best regards,

    Karlie Weng
