Works great, free, secure and built-in to Windows 10. Just turned on the remote desktop setting in Windows and was able to use this for everything I needed. Minus one star for being a little quirk regarding using scrollbars on the far left while trying to use the in-app keyboard. The screen seems to cut off the margins when the keyboard is open.

since i got the S10 plus, the weird scrolling issue and off mouse was bugging me. Found a fix for it tho. it has to do with the camera cut out and how the phone tries to hide it. The fix can be done in two ways. 1: Hide the camera. this will shrink the screen to hide the camera and the app will behave as it did before. 2: Under display - full screen apps - scroll down to this app and change it from auto to full. This will allow the app to behave like normal but with the cutout visible.

Hello, remote desktop doesn't go into full screen mode. Bug? i.e. Although custom resolution is set to match device resolution, there is black bar on right and button side of the screen. Portrait mode is fine, the problem only occurred in landscape mode. And also this problem only start to appear in the latest version of the app. It hasn't happened before.
