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

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?

    When I click the link you have set in your response, I am getting flagged with the following message on install:

    Could you supply further instructions on what to do/how to handle this when trying to fix the Remote Desktop visual issue?

    Thanks!

    What if the remote machine I am trying to connect to is a virtual computer lab through my school? So it's not the same dedicated machine each time.

    Hi, I downloaded the link and add the remote link, but don't have the same tab options as displayed in your photo (it hasn't changed).  Is there something i need to do in order to get this program working?

    Thanks!

    I don't know what to tell you.
