The top bit got me recently, I hadn’t needed to remote into my desktop in a while and searched “Remote” and “RDP” and found nothing. Eventually I found it was renamed to the windows app and finally logged in but was baffled as to why they would do that.

From what I read Windows App does not support RDP and you need to use Remote Desktop Connection (not Remote Desktop App, which is a different thing)

Remote desktop users: Users connecting to remote desktops from the Remote Desktop app should use Remote Desktop Connection until support for this connection type is available in Windows App.
