Reset a Remote Desktop or Application
You might need to reset a desktop or application if the application or desktop operating system stops
responding. Resetting a remote desktop shuts down and restarts the desktop. Resetting your remote
applications quits the applications. Unsaved data is lost.
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 will be closed without being saved first.
Resetting applications is the equivalent of quitting all remote applications without saving any unsaved data.
All open applications are closed, even if the applications come from different RDS server farms.
You can reset a remote desktop only if your administrator has enabled this feature.
