Refresh your Feeds in Remote Desktop
How to refresh your feeds to resolve issues with Remote Desktop apps
IMPORTANT: Transition to Windows App
Microsoft confirmed it has begun phasing out support for the Remote Desktop application starting May 2025, with a new 'Windows App' as its replacement. As a result, Beck Technology has begun advising Hosted clients to switch over to the Windows App to access the DESTINI suite of hosted applications.
The Windows App setup process is similar - easier in some ways - to Remote Desktop, and full instructions can be found here (please click the link that best applies to you):
Refreshing your feeds in Remote Desktop is a quick and easy way to resolve issues that you may encounter with the Microsoft service and your subscriptions within it.
Here are just a couple of the issues that you may encounter:
Error: The Connection was denied because the user account is not authorized for remote login.
Error: "Something went wrong. We couldn't sign you in." (Error code CAA20004)
If you encounter any of the above errors, refreshing your feeds should resolve the issue. Here are the steps:
- In Remote Desktop, click on the small ellipses on the right of the application header:
- In the drop-down menu that appears, click on Refresh.
- The Details window will appear showing the status of the refresh process. Confirm that the Refresh Status progresses to 'Refresh Successful'.
- You should now be able to launch Estimator.
