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.
When you are connected to the remote desktop or application, you can disconnect by tapping the
Disconnect icon in the Unity Touch sidebar.
N A Horizon administrator can congure a remote desktop to automatically log o when it is
disconnected. In that case, any open programs in the remote 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.
