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.
Procedure
u
Use the Restart Desktop command.
Option Action
From within the desktop OS Select Options > Restart Desktop from the menu bar.
From the desktop selection window Right-click the desktop icon and select Restart Desktop.
Horizon Client prompts you to confirm the restart action.
The operating system in the remote desktop reboots and Horizon Client disconnects and logs off from the
desktop.
