Connect to MyApps on Windows

Authors list

You can connect to the MyApps service from a web browser on any platform via myapps.brown.edu, but Windows App (formerly Microsoft Remote Desktop) can provide a better user experience. Installing the Windows app will be more convenient for frequent usage of MyApps.

To install and configure Windows App, please follow these steps:

  1. Download and install the latest release of Windows App via the Microsoft Store.
    Note: If you are using a Brown-managed machine, you can install it via Company Portal.
  2. Launch Windows App. If you are using a Brown-managed machine you will automatically be signed in. If you are using a personal machine, click Sign in.
  3. Enter your Brown username in Microsoft format: username@ad.brown.edu (ex. jcarberr@ad.brown.edu)
  4. You will be redirected to authenticate with your Brown username and password.
  5. Once you have successfully authenticated you will see any MyApps Desktops you are entitled to.
  6. Double-click on a MyApps Desktop to launch a session and connect.
  7. You can click on the ellipsis (...) for each MyApps Desktop to configure custom display settings.
  8. If you have more than one Brown Microsoft account, repeat steps 2-5.
