Azure virtual desktop, remote app offset

Question

Azure virtual desktop, remote app offset

Anonymous

Some applications on AVD have a strange visual offset when used as a remote application in fullscreen.
Disabling RemoteFX graphics fixes the offset but introuduces visual bugs in windowed mode.
Below picture is a demonstration of the issue in SSMS. The issue is especially notable in all applications using any sort of floating windows.

Display settings currently used in the host pool are
screen mode id:i:2
smart sizing:i:1
dynamic resolution:i:1
desktopscalefactor:i:100

Remote desktop application is version 1.2.31280.0 (x64)

Session host is Windows 11 multi session host with the latest updates.
Used machines are a B2s and a D2s v3

Is there any way to fix this or mitigate this issue without breaking any other applications?
Unfortunately setting a desktop size is not possible due to the variety of screens and resolutions this is supposed to work on.

Probably important to note
The session host itself is running Windows 11 multi session with the latest updates

Hello @Anonymous ,

I understand that you are seeing some applications on AVD have a visual offset when used as a remote application in Fullscreen. Can you confirm if this has always been this way? Or only observed recently? If yes, are there any new changes made?

All of a sudden on 2 hosts we get this behaviour. RemoteApp (Winapp not UWP) in full screen. Not client dependent since we have the same issue on PC, Mac and iPad. Does anyone has a fix ? SxSStack are at the same version.

Hello, I believe I found the issue. Comparing 2 hosts (one with and one without the bug), I noticed that the correct host has this entry in the registry : Path : Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services fEnableRemoteFXAdvancedRemoteApp DWORD Value 0 Once added to the other host, logoff, logon. Issue solved. Screenshot 2024-02-23 at 11.34.58

Test it and I hope it will solve your problem too. Have a good one, Fab
