    Hi Howard Gold,

    Thank you for reaching out. To avoid repeating the Remote PC removal steps already provided by AI answer, could you please let us know the type of device shown in Windows App and whether you’re using Windows App on Windows, macOS, iOS/iPadOS, Android, Chrome OS, or Meta Quest? That should help determine the correct next step.

    Hope this helps us narrow it down quickly.

    If the invalid device is a Remote PC in Windows App, it can be deleted from the Devices list.

    Use the steps for the platform running Windows App:

    • macOS / Meta Quest: Open Windows App > Devices > select the ellipses (...) or press and hold the device card > Delete.
    • iOS / iPadOS / Android / Chrome OS: Open Windows App > Devices > tap and hold the remote PC card > Delete.

    This Delete action applies to Remote PC entries.

    If the device is a Cloud PC, Azure Virtual Desktop, Microsoft Dev Box, or another managed device, the available actions in the provided documentation are things like Rename, Restart, Reset, Restore, Inspect connection, or View details. A general delete option for those device types is not shown in the provided documentation.

    AI-generated content may be incorrect. Read our transparency notes for more information.
