Windows RDP -- Possible to resize resolution on-the-fly?
Problem
I'm wondering if it's possible to resize the desktop on an RDP session on the fly I realize you can do it before you connect, but I'm looking to resize it on the fly similar to how vmware works. If I have it in a window that's 800x600 I'd like the remote desktop to be resized to 800x600... but if I maximize my local window or go full screen, I'd like the remote desktop to assume the resolution of the local PC, or the window dimensions. VMWare does this exactly how I want with an option called "use host settings for monitors" As I scale the window, the desktop on the guest os scales, I'd like to do this on an RDP session? Any ideas?

Fix for: Windows RDP -- Possible to resize resolution on-the-fly?
I am just putting this here for visibility, full credit to @Sevin7 for their comment above: Use the Microsoft Remote Desktop app from the windows store instead of the version baked into windows. It has an option you have to turn on when making your first connection to "update the remote session resolution on resize" which will stay on for subsequent connections.
