Installing the Release Automatically
Workspot’s (highly recommended) automatic updates via Deployment Rings will start after the release as follows:
The Stable Ring (recommended for most users) is always set to the most recent production release.
The Preview Ring (recommended for beta testers and early adopters) is always set to the most recent beta release or production release, whichever is newer.
Known Issues
When display zoom is set in the Client, you cannot move a Workspot app from one display to another.
When a power-managed desktop resumes from sleep, the connection may time out prematurely with the error "There was a problem starting your desktop. Please contact your administrator." The end-user should retry the connection BEFORE contacting the administrator, since this usually works.
Users of Windows 11 Client devices are reported in Control's "User Details" page as using Windows 10.
If you assign a Linux desktop to a user manually in Control, and the user connects to it for the first time with the Windows Client, the Client is supposed to prompt the user for sign-in credentials. Instead, the Client tries the most recently used credentials from another Workspot desktop/app first. If these succeed, the user is signed in automatically.
Linux desktops do not support Client drive redirection.
Desktop zoom is not supported when you have enabled multiple monitors (instead, Zoom is always 100%), but the Client lets you set a zoom level anyway.
When a Workspot desktop or App shows a login dialog, you have to click on the first field even though it appears to be selected already.
Sometimes nothing happens if a user closes and then reopens the same app immediately. Workaround: Wait 1-2 minutes and try again.
