Hi,

We published only RDP (remote desktop) App on Horizon 7

Launch RDP App --> Connect to PC - via Horizon client 5.0.0 build-12606690

when user click ALT+TAB (switch windows) is Not work, keyboard Not redirect to remote PC

* If launch Full VDI Desktop - work correct

** if connect to Terminal without horizon client, via rdp (mstsc), alt+tab work correct !!!

Try

Set in RDP in settings - Apply Windows key combination: On the remote computer - not help

How to fix ALT+TAB for RDP App published ?

Try to hold Alt key a little bit longer than usual, and then press Tab key. Sometimes, it helps.

+1. Same issue. This really limits publishing remote desktop as a published app.

Hi all,

There is an easy solution to this but requires a bit of user re-education.

1) Make sure that under the RDP "Options" prior to connecting, that Apply Windows Key combinations" is set to "On this computer".

2) Once you have connected to the RDP Window, you must use the following key combinations:-

Windows shortcut	Remote Desktop shortcut	Description
ALT+TAB	ALT+PAGE UP	Switches between programs from left to right.
ALT+SHIFT+TAB	ALT+PAGE DOWN	Switches between programs from right to left.
	ALT+INSERT	Cycles through the programs in the order they were started.

Let me know if that works and if so, mark this as this Answer.

Hope that helps!

Thanks

Andrew
