What is the default behavior for the client after connecting with only one pool

Since we started using Horizon view I've had more than one desktop pool so the client has always stayed up in the background.

I recently went down to one pool and now, even though "Hide the client after connection" is NOT checked, when I connect to my single desktop pool the client disappears.

Is this normal? Is there a way to get the client to stay up even with a single pool?

I ask because I recently moved my VDI from one vcenter to another and one pool to another, which is unsupported, but worked fine, so I'm not sure whether this is normal behavior or not.

This is expected with only one pool. There is no need to keep the Windows up.

What are you looking to do by keeping the pool selection window up?

Don't have to type in my password again if I close my window, and easier access to change my monitor selection.

Small potatoes. Thanks for the reply!

Do you have a load balancer? The credentials should stay cached and allow you to disconnect/reconnect until the session expires.
