Resetting a Remote Desktop or Application
If you are currently connected to and logged in to a remote desktop or application, you can tap the
Disconnect button in the desktop or application window and tap Reset to reset the remote desktop or
application.
The Reset command is available only if the Horizon administrator has allowed it and only if the status of
the remote desktop or application is such that the action can be taken.
You might need to restart a remote desktop or application if the desktop operating system or application
stops responding.
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 without being saved.
Resetting a remote application quits all remote applications and logs off all of your remote application
sessions. Unsaved changes in remote applications might be lost.
Uninstall the VMware Horizon Client App
You can sometimes resolve problems with Horizon Client by uninstalling and reinstalling the
VMware Horizon Client app from the Windows 10 UWP device.
You uninstall Horizon Client just as you would uninstall any Windows 10 UWP app.
