Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
RDP works as a server but not as the client.

Describe the solution you'd like
keep all mstsc-functionality on microwin

Describe alternatives you've considered
copying mstsc.exe to system32 works.. but it lacks some features. please just keep this part of windows in microwin.

@ne0YT, in my testing, I was able to connect via RDP to an old system. mstsc is already there

EDIT: This is present in 23H2, but 24H2 returns different results

@ne0YT, to reinstate Remote Desktop Connection, you will need to enable the Microsoft-RemoteDesktopConnection feature. This will reinstall the Remote Desktop Connection application

Also having this issue. MicroWin on Windows 11 Pro 23H2. Neither Remote Desktop from the Microsoft Store nor Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc.exe) work. RDC Server works fine, just the client that seems to not work. mstsc.exe was restored using the above DISM command, processed without error and restored mstsc.exe, but does not seem to work. Old install of 23H2 (non MicroWin) works fine. Event viewer shows no errors that I can see

It would be really nice to have this either added back to the MicroWin image or to have it added in the WinUtil app to install as an option.
