Latest version of 'Windows App' is unusable on MacOS

Hi,

Since you updated the Remote Desktop Client app to 'Windows App', I have been utterly unable to use it as it disconnects with an 'encryption error' every few minutes.  I rely on this app for work so this is a showstopper for me.

I've found your 'Beta version download' page for 'Windows App' and have downgraded to a v10 build as v11 is the problematic one (11.0.4 currently fails).  The connection has been rock solid since, but you really need to fix this so I can receive security updates etc from the App Store version please.

Thanks

      Even says it right at the top of the first link you provided: "Windows App is your gateway to Azure Virtual Desktop"
      Seriously wtf is in the drinking water in Redmond these days?

      Weird because the Windows App team now think Windows App is Azure Virtual Desktop and stopped supporting local Windows machine connections in the Windows version of Windows App.

      Can you and your team get together and decide what the heck your product actually is now and stop breaking it?  I'd really like to be able to use the modern app to connect to my Windows machines once more without forcing me to sign in to an MS account before the app will even run.
