It can be enabled in Windows 7/8/8.1 by some tools.

When I use RemoteApp tool in Windows 10 PRO, and create rdp file with a valid configuration, the client can't run rdp file. Login window appears but when I login, nothing is happening (I am logging in with my laptop in same network, its Windows 10 PRO too, remote desktop woks fine).

I can see succesfull login in server's event viewer. So it's not a network issue, its not an account issue. I think something is different in Windows 10 about RemoteApp.

Anyone have ideas?

The problem is that it's not supported on the Professional version of Windows. You would need to run the Enterprise or Education version of Windows 10 in order for it to work. I ran into the exact same problem, where it'd worked fine on my system running Windows 7 Ultimate, but would just disappear when running on Windows 10 Pro.

According to the developer's website (http://www.kimknight.net)

RemoteApp Tool requires:

  • Microsoft .Net Framework 4
  • Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate -or-
  • Windows 8 Enterprise -or-
  • Windows 10 Enterprise or Education -or-
  • Windows XP SP3
  • It also works with Windows Server 2008 and newer.

Note: If you try to host RemoteApps on any other edition of Windows (eg Win 7/8/10 Professional), the tool will run but RemoteApps will not work. The RDP client will appear to be connecting, then just disappear.
