Windows 10 can use both networking stacks, IP version 4 (IPv4) and version 6 (IPv6), but sometimes, it'll choose version 6 for the connection, which may cause problems with the remote desktop. I just upgraded to the new Microsoft Remote Desktop 10.4.0 (1811) that came out a few days ago. I can connect to my remote session fine (Windows 10, still on 1803 due to corporate antivirus). The connection is initiated, but when the remote screen opens, it is entirely black.
Offers you the possibility to quickly connect to a Windows-based computer in order to work with its programs and files, access data and more

It is no secret that I like the latest Delphi release quite a lot. Embarcadero posted one of my quotes on Twitter…
I added one more thought to that statement which had to be cut off as the badge did not offer enough space. In addition to compiler speed and a responsive IDE, the IDE now can also handle being used in a Microsoft Remote Desktop connection. Sometimes, I am on my Mac when testing applications or my laptop when out of the office. Sometimes, the IDE did not handle the resolution change caused by Remote Desktop and became unresponsive. That thankfully is a thing of the past. I have used Delphi inside a Remote Desktop session from my laptop for quite a while the other night. I also would like to mention that the laptop used a different resolution and pixel density which also was problematic before. With 10.4.2, you are ready for all that and it works just fine!
One positive result of this is that I am able to access Delphi through a remote connection when I am outside sitting on the patio writing my upcoming Delphi book in the evenings. Torrens download free. I always have to look something up that I do not recall right away and now it is possible again to access my office desktop.
