Remote Desktop Client in Windows 7 Full Screen Issue

That's weird, it works fine for me here (Windows 7 Ult. 32-bit).

Ctrl+Alt+Pause should toggle the RDP client in and out of full-screen as well. Does that work for you?

It's also possible for the server-side to have a maximum allowable resolution set. Although I would expect that wouldn't allow the full-screen in the first place, it may be worth looking into.

Perhaps test with another RDP server, if available?

As others noted, I was able to work around this by changing my resolution from 1366x768 to 1360x768 (I was surprised to find this option in the screen resolution options). Now, I'm able to start fullscreen, restore to windowed, and maximize back to fullscreen. On a Dell laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium x64 with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3670.

Here are the steps you should follow:

• Start "Remote Desktop Connection".
• Click on "Options".
• Click on the "Display" tab.
• On "Display configuation" settings, you can change the "Remote Desktop Connection" display by moving the slider from "Small to Large".
• By moving the "Slider" all the way to large, the display settings will automatically set to "Full Screen".
