Remote Desktop Connetion displays Very Small Icons and Jump Lists on Remote Machine

I've got  a DELL INSPIRON 7559-15" running WIN-10 Pro connecting to WIN-7 Pro.

Setting my the resolution on my Dell laptop to 1366 x 768 solved the problem of itty, bitty font coming from the Remote Desktop.  This was the PERFECT SOLUTION!

THANKS SO VERY MUCH for this tip!

Here's what I've been doing as a workaround (although not perfect, see below):

Using normal SP3 settings connect using Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCM);

Add a server (the remote machine);

Under the server properties, Remote Desktop Settings tab, uncheck inherit from parent and select Full screen.

Under display settings, uncheck Inherit from parent.

After connecting, it may be necessary to sign out of remote and then reconnect using RDCM.

At that point my display appears normal.

However, modern/metro apps on the remote won't work when connecting with RDCM.

Remote Desktop Connection Manager 2.2

I am having same issues I can barley read my employer network files when logged in remotely yet the same files resident on my machine are NORMA & READABLE!!!!

if Microsoft  don't have a patch OR AN ACCEPTABLE WORK AROUND for this by next week I will have to return my 2 week old surface Pro3 as this issue renders my machine useless as it was purchased for the specific task of connecting to my employers network. This machine was supposed to improve my productivity, IT HAS ACHIEVED NOTHING,

Thanks for the reply - can you tell me more about the use of RDCman - is that something you loaded ON the SP3 or did you have to load it onto the server?  Once loaded on the SP3 - was it complicated to configure etc?  I only briefly reviewed it's use - may have even downloaded it - however had no luck in connecting from what I recall.

Install RDCMan 2.2 on your SP3 only:

There are some specific instructions earlier in this thread but feel free to ask if you have more questions.

BTW, Metro apps on the remote machine won't work when connecting via RDCMan, in my experience.

On my remote machine, the desktop icons, icon titles, taskbar and jump lists are puny, very difficult to read the small font size.

I've tried all of the various display/sizing options in my Surface's control panel, and also the display setting tab in Remote Desktop Connection, and have not found any comnbination that works well on the remote and Surface Pro 3. (Also, the sizing options are not so convenient anyway since a sign out is generally needed.)

 I've never had this problem and regularly use RDP on various machines. Are there others with RDP display issues?

Ok here is a good workaround.

1- Download this tool, create a file and add your remote machine.

2. In the display tab unselect this option

3- Connect to your remote machine.

Now you will see everything in the native resolution of the remote machine.
