We are happy to announce the general availability of the User Interface (UI) for the Azure Virtual Desktop Web Client. The new UI offers a cleaner, more modern look and feel. With this update, you can
- Switch between Light and Dark Mode
- View your resources in a grid or list format
- Reset web client settings to their defaults
Switch between light and dark mode; Reset user settings to their defaults
Switch between Grid and List format to view your resources
How to access it
The new client is toggled on by default on the web client, and the “preview” caption has now been removed from the toggle.
Toggle set to New Client by default
For additional information on the new UI, see What's new in the Remote Desktop Web client for Azure Virtual Desktop | Microsoft Learn and New User Interface.
Note: We recommend using the new client as the original version will be deprecated soon. We will share more information on that shortly!
