How to make Windows App for remote desktop connection on ChromeBook full screen

I'm connecting to a remote Windows workstation from ChromeBook using the Microsoft "Windows App". This connects, but it says it's configured for a mobile device and shows only a fraction of the remote Windows desktop. I find no place to change settings to make it not for a mobile device. Right-clicking on the connection does not show a setting for "full screen" or not mobile mode. Can this be done or is there some other app I need instead of Microsoft "Windows App"?

    Instead of the "Windows App," try the web version of Remote Desktop:

    Go to: https://windows.cloud.microsoft or https://rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient

    Sign in with your Microsoft/Entra ID.

    Launch the remote session from there.
