Restart a Remote Desktop
You might need to restart a remote desktop if the desktop operating system stops responding. Restarting
a remote desktop is the equivalent of the Windows operating system restart command. The desktop
operating system usually prompts you to save any unsaved data before it restarts.
You can restart a remote desktop only if a Horizon administrator has enabled the desktop restart feature
for the desktop.
