Good luck even opening it without signing in to a Microsoft account.

Yeah my dad's boss had this issue a couple weeks ago. His remote desktop app disappeared from his phone and he had no idea where. Figured out after looking for a whole day that they renamed it to this stupid bullshit.
At this point i'm pretty sure most windows users have a degradation fetish they're too ashamed to admit.
RDP, until they change the name of the protocol. I don't think that search term is corrupted yet.

I work in the window industry…like for buildings. I’m used to Microsoft constantly fucking up my queries
Still laughing my ass off... Imagine trying to Google for solutions to "windows app" :) :)
But we live in a world where Muskie renamed Twitter to X, so....some serious brain damage going on all over the place.
Im starting to feel smarter now, as an effect of these guys becoming dumber and dumber, so I guess thats a plus.

I really feel like Microsoft is on a quest to make windows as non user friendly as possible. Everything is hidden behind menus, the search function barely works, the taskbar can't be moved, they're constantly changing program names and can't forget cramming a useless chat bot into the os again. It's just a never ending stream of choices that make literally no sense from the perspective of the end user.

Microsoft never ceases to amaze me with anti consumer decisions.
I knew I had remote desktop on my work laptop, because I had used it before, but the other day I was trying to open remote desktop and nothing came up, so I created an IT support ticket only for them to tell me it was now called Windows App...
I saw this on my work computer the other day and I couldn’t figure out what the fuck it was. This explains it. Wtf
Ever since Ford renamed all car components to car components it has been a total bitch to change a tire....
Me: hello jiffy lube, I have a flat car components.
JL: Well bring it right in, we'll fix that for you
Me: here's the car with the flat car components.
JL: oh I see, you've been in an accident. Yeah we don't fix that sort of flat car components. Go to Joe Shmow's Auto repair.
JSAR: yah, I looked everywhere for a fix to flat components and found nothing worth trying. Cat videos yeah. But maybe if we hammer a few more things.
Me: but that's the problem see this is supposed to be a dowel car component, but its flat. It used to be the thing a ma bob. But now its just another car components.
...the conversation would then drag on and included the economy, and politics.
This is some Twitter-tier rebranding failure.
gonna install my windows app on windows to remote into my windows and troubleshoot windows.
