Reset a Remote Desktop or Remote Applications
You might need to reset a remote desktop if the desktop operating system stops responding and
restarting the remote desktop does not solve the problem. Resetting remote applications quits all open
applications.
Resetting a remote desktop is the equivalent of pressing the Reset button on a physical PC to force the
PC to restart. Any files that are open on the remote desktop are closed and are not saved.
Resetting remote applications is the equivalent of quitting the applications without saving any unsaved
data. All open remote applications are closed, even applications that come from different RDS server
farms.
You can reset a remote desktop only if a Horizon administrator has enabled the desktop reset feature for
the desktop.
