Introducing VMConnect dynamic resize

Starting in the latest Insiders build, you can resize the display for a session in Virtual Machine Connection just
by dragging the corner of the window.

When you connect to a VM, youll still see the normal options which determine the size of the window and
the resolution to pass to the virtual machine:

Once you log in, you can see that the guest OS is using the specified resolution, in this case 1366 x 768.

Now, if we resize the window, the resolution in the guest OS is automatically adjusted. Neat!

Additionally, the system DPI settings are passed to the VM. If I change my scaling factor on the host, the VM
display will scale as well.

There are 2 requirements for dynamic resizing to work:

You must be running in Enhanced session mode

You must be fully logged in to the guest OS it wont work on the lockscreen

This remains a work in progress, so we would love to hear your thoughts.

THANK YOU! This is great!

This is good, but I would add one of two things. Either:

A. Dont require an enhanced session for this to work or

B. Make it where enhanced sessions are available when the guest OS is in Audit Mode.

In Windows 7, enhanced sessions actually were available in Audit Mode, so I see this as regression and would
prefer Option B above.

Nice! Hopefully, you are able to add the number of monitors to use.
