I am using a SAW machine that only allows me to use Remote Desktop app to connect to a devbox (or VM). How do I split that view into 2 separate windows, 1 for each monitor?

    Hello @Dat N

    I am reposting the solution that best applies in your scenario.

    As per Dat N's confirmation the below solution resolves this issue:

    Issue: How to split 1 VM tab to be displayed into 2 monitors?
    Solution:

    When you connect to your cloud-hosted developer machine in Microsoft Dev Box by using a remote desktop app, you can take advantage of a multi-monitor setup. Microsoft Remote Desktop for Windows and Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac both support up to 16 monitors.
