Unable to Load Dynamic Virtual Channel DLL in Microsoft Remote Desktop Application

[hanexthink]

We are experiencing an issue where the dynamic virtual channel (DVC) DLL cannot be loaded when using the Microsoft Remote Desktop application downloaded from the Microsoft Store.

1. Download and install the Microsoft Remote Desktop application from the Microsoft Store.
2. Run the same steps mentioned in the GitHub repo
3. Make a remote desktop connection using the the Microsoft Remote Desktop application from the Microsoft Store.

Hi @hanexthink,

Feel free to include technical details into this thread including your results on inspecting the loading with procmon. I have a feeling that this might come from that the dll is not signed, therefore the Microsoft Store application will not load it. If that is the case, this won't be resolved.

Hi @earthquake ,

We noticed that not all Microsoft products provide support for Third-party virtual channel plugins. Please refer to the following link for detailed information: Compare Remote Desktop Clients.

The provided table clearly indicates the supported and unsupported features across various platforms. As highlighted, Third-party virtual channel plugins are not universally supported across all versions and platforms. Specifically, this issue can be closed since we now know that DVC is not supported for macOS and Windows (RD Store).

Kind regards, Hossein
