Force Portrait Screen Rotation in MS Remote Desktop App I'm using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Client v8.0.11.25133 to connect to a Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Session Host (Terminal) Server.  I want to force the RDP session to display in Portrait mode only, regardless of the orientation of my Android phone.  My RDP session is established in Landscape mode and nothing I have done changes this.

What I've tried:


Disabling (and enabling) auto-rotation in Android Settings.  Despite this setting, the RDP session never displays in Portrait mode, even if I rotate the phone
Searched the Remote Desktop Client app for settings to control rotation
Searched the Internet for appropriate terms.  I found this post in which a commenter complains:



  The MS-ified version [of the RDP app] locks you into portrait mode.


So I am hopeful this is possible.

I am using a Cubot X6 phone running Android v4.2.2
The Microsoft RDP android app didn't support portrait mode... but with your input on https://remotedesktop.uservoice.com/forums/272085-remote-desktop-for-android/suggestions/6851819-portrait-mode it finally got implemented:


  Our latest update to the app supports connecting in portrait mode. The
  remote session adapts to your device orientation dynamically. You will
  get the best experience using Windows 8.1 and newer.
