Highlights

  • Available for download and in the automatic deployment Preview Ring and Stable Ring.

  • Supports Control's "prefilled username" feature, where the user cannot enter someone else's username for a Workspot desktop or app, but can only sign in as themselves. This is enabled in Control on a per-desktop-pool or per-App-Server-Pool basis.

  • Support for the optional Workspot Virtual Smartcard Service, which is installed with the Client through the "ALLUSERS=1 INSTALLVSCSERVICE=1" options are used as part of the msiexec Client installation command. Configuration in Control is TBD.

  • Support for the Security Policy Lock Inactive Client Dashboard feature, which allows the Client Dashboard's idle time to be treated separately and lock an idle Dashboard even when the user's Workspot desktops and apps are in use. This limits the ability of other users to launch desktops and apps when the user's back is turned.

  • Support for the RPC protocol's Dynamic Virtual Channels for greater flexibility in communication between the Client and remote system.

  • A bug that prevented the Client's display zoom setting from working on apps running on a single monitor has been fixed.

Known Issues

  • Display zoom does not work on multi-monitor apps, nor can a zoomed single-monitor app be moved to a different display.

Supported Platforms

Windows 10 and Windows 11.
