Disconnecting From a Remote Desktop or Application
You can disconnect from a remote desktop without logging o, so that applications remain open on the
remote desktop. You can also disconnect from a remote application so that the remote application remains
open.
On a mobile device, when you are using a remote desktop or application in full-screen mode, you can
disconnect by tapping the Horizon Client Tools radial menu icon and tapping the Disconnect icon. If you
are not using full-screen mode, Disconnect is in the menu in the upper-right corner of the Horizon Client
toolbar.
On a thin client, when you are connected to a remote desktop or application, you disconnect by clicking the
Disconnect icon in the Unity Touch sidebar or in a pop-up menu, depending on your thin client model. For
more information, see “Using Horizon Client on a Thin Client,” on page 15.
N A Horizon administrator can congure your desktop to automatically log o when disconnected. In
that case, any open programs in your desktop are stopped.
Log Off from a Remote Desktop
You can log o from a remote desktop operating system, even if you do not have a desktop open in
Horizon Client.
If you are currently connected to and logged in to a remote desktop, you can use the Windows Start menu
to log o. After Windows logs you o, the desktop is disconnected.
N Any unsaved les that are open on the remote desktop are closed during the logo operation.
