I’m trying to use Remote Desktop App on my external display, but Application (RD Client) is not extending to full screen. Is there a way to resolve this?

Hi vikk91,


For help with Remote Desktop, be sure all requirements are met using the information below found in the article here: Install and set up Remote Desktop


"Install and set up Remote Desktop


To use Remote Desktop, your administrator and client computers must meet these requirements:

  • Mac computers must be running OS X 10.10.5 or later.
  • Mac client computers must have version 3.6 or later of the Remote Desktop client software for full control.
  • Although you may be able to control and observe Mac computers using earlier versions of the Remote Desktop client software, you can’t generate reports or execute remote commands.
  • To find the client software version, when you’re using Remote Desktop, select the computer, choose File > Get Info, and look at the ARD Version field. To find the client software version on Mac computers you haven’t yet added to the All Computers list, go to the computer, locate the following file in the Finder, and check its version:
  • /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app
  • Non-Mac client computers must have Virtual Network Computing (VNC)–compatible software.


When you install Remote Desktop and open it for the first time, use the setup assistant to finalize configuration. After configuration, you start administering computers by adding clients to the main list of computers."


If all is installed correctly, check out the article here for information: Switch between in-window control and full screen in Remote Desktop
