Pair Remote Desktop with 2nd PC

I am trying to configure the builtin Remote Desktop app with a second Windows 11 PC using the Mixed Reality app.

I have it paired with 1 PC no problem whatsoever, but as soon as I launch it, it logs into the PC it is already paired with. I'm sure I previously had an option to select which PC to connect to, but at the very least I can't even see a way to unpair a PC that it's connected with so I can pair it with a new one.

I would like to have the option to connect to either PC, rather than only being able to pair with one at a time.

    Hi there tophertronic !

     

     We understand how important it is to have flexibility when using Remote Desktop with multiple PCs, and we appreciate you sharing your setup.

    Currently, the built-in Remote Desktop app is designed to connect to one PC at a time, and it may automatically reconnect to the last paired device. While there isn’t a direct option to switch between multiple PCs within the app, we do have a few steps you can try to reset the connection and pair with a different PC:

    Clear App Data on Your Quest

    Go to Settings → Apps → Remote Desktop → Clear App Data

    This will reset the saved connection and allow you to start fresh

    Install the Remote Desktop App on Your Second PC

    Download and install the Meta Quest Remote Desktop App from here

    Make sure you're signed in with the same Meta account and the app is running

    Launch Remote Desktop on Your Quest

    After clearing the app data, launch the Remote Desktop app again

    Your headset should detect the available PC running the Remote Desktop app and prompt you to connect

     Disconnect the First PC Temporarily

    To avoid auto-connection, you can close the app on the first PC while setting up the second one
