Release 2.42 introduces the following new features:

  • DPI-aware scaling: IAP Desktop now automatically scales its GUI based on the DPI settings of your primary monitor, letting the application and RDP sessions look crisp on high-DPI screens. IAP Desktop automatically scales RDP session to match your display settings, but you can optionally disable display scaling in the connection settings.

  • Remember RDP credentials: When you connect to a Windows VM and haven't stored RDP credentials before, IAP Desktop shows a credential prompt. This prompt now includes a "Remember me" option that lets you store your credentials and skip the credential prompt the next time you connect.

In addition, the release includes several stability improvements and fixes, including:

  • Windows CNG: IAP Desktop now uses Windows CNG as crypto backend for SSH and no longer depends on OpenSSL. Previous versions used CNG for SSH user authentication, but relied on a bundled version of OpenSSL to handle all other cryptographic operations. CNG is a part of Windows and serviced by Windows Update.
  • Dark mode: Icons have been optimized to look better in dark mode.

Additional notes:

  • IAP Desktop 2.42 now requires Windows 10 14393 (also called 1607, 'Anniversary Update', or LTSB 2016), Windows Server 2016, or a later version of Windows. Older versions of Windows such as Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 1507 lack support for a Windows CNG feature that's required for SSH and therefore can't be used to run IAP Desktop anymore.
  • Updates now default to the x64 (64-bit) version of IAP Desktop.

Update 08/20/2024: Updated packages to fix an issue in the upgrade progress that cause IAP Desktop to fail during startup for some users.
