- Added a checkbox in the general preferences to enable/disable Microsoft Teams optimizations.
- Added a UI to report if a remote application could not be launched on the server because it is not on the system’s allow list.
- Fixed an issue where the session window could not be maximized when placed at the top or bottom of the screen.
- Addressed scenarios where the mouse cursor disappears when connected to a remote PC.
- Deleting an Azure Virtual Desktop workspace now correctly deletes all associated workspaces.
- Fixed an issue where adding a folder to redirect to a bookmark would activate the “Add” button with an empty PC name.
