Microsoft changes the name of one of its most useful and important applications, causing chaos among users
Microsoft is changing the name of one of its most useful applications and users aren't happy about it. Until now, accessing a Windows PC remotely from another device only required setting up Microsoft Remote Desktop. The app has been removing software and hardware restrictions between computers for years, and Microsoft decided the name should change and now it's called "Windows App."
Yes, Microsoft Remote Desktop has become a Windows App, and in fact, it is already receiving that name in the Windows App Store. The reason behind this change has not been revealed, but what is being published are user reactions to the change. Perhaps Microsoft has not stopped to think about the implications of naming an application “Windows App”.
The underlying reasons behind the complaints are that the name is too generic, and therefore, when you do a search in the operating system, the results displayed are too generic. But that's not all.
Another problem with this name change is the confusion that may arise when providing support when the application is called a "Windows App". The problem may have a greater impact in English because users may interpret the name of this application as any type of content within the system.

Although the problem and complaints are centered on the name you receive, the problem is centered on all systems that use Windows as an operating system. On macOS computers, the name is not a major inconvenience, in fact it is useful because it is very descriptive in terms of its functions that allow access to a computer running Windows.
