Jump Desktop 10 Beta 6

Release Notes

Version 10.12.15 (2026-05-15)

Important: macOS Viewer: All Beta version 10 releases of the Mac viewer have a bug that stops the built-in updater from installing new versions. To move to this version you must download Jump Desktop  manually and move the old copy to the Trash. This is a one-time step — updates install normally from this version onward. (Mac App Store installs are unaffected.). 

Important: The macOS viewer now requires macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later.

New Features

  • Viewer: Added display presets - use the in-session Display menu to instantly switch the remote layout between Single Virtual Display, Matched Virtual Displays, and Host Displays, or save your own configurations under Display → Saved Presets.
  • Viewer: Virtual displays are now easier to manage - keep them on the remote computer between sessions with the new "Keep After Disconnect" option, and give each virtual display its own resolution, scale, and refresh rate with the new "Fixed Size" mode in the connection's Display settings. Read more about it here: Displays Menu And Virtual Displays.
  • Viewer: Added File → Import → From URL, which creates a new computer from a pasted connection link.
  • Viewer: Added "Remove My Access" to the right-click menu for Connect computers, letting you revoke your own access to a computer you no longer use.
  • Viewer: Cloudless Fluid connection links can now pin the remote computer's SSL certificate fingerprint; the connection is refused if the certificate does not match.
  • Viewer: macOS: Added support for using FIDO2 and U2F security keys (such as YubiKey) on the remote computer — after connecting, choose Remote → Devices and select the security key. Security keys that require a PIN are not yet supported.
  • Viewer: Windows: You can now import and export computer lists as .jdz archive files via File → Import and the right-click Export option.
  • Connect: Team administrators can now remotely pull a diagnostic log bundle from a computer running Jump Desktop Connect, without needing access to the computer itself. Open the computer's details view on the Teams dashboard and click "Request Bundle".
  • Connect: Added a "Copy Launch URL" button to Fluid settings that generates a ready-to-share cloudless connection link, including the computer's SSL certificate fingerprint.
  • Connect: Windows: The host computer's display scaling now automatically matches the scale of the computer you're connecting from, so text and interface elements appear at a comfortable size without manual adjustment.
  • Connect: Windows: Added JumpConnectCli.exe, a command-line companion whose output can be captured by scripts and automation.

Improvements

  • Viewer: Text and edges in the remote desktop now look noticeably sharper.
  • Viewer: Redesigned the codec menu around how you want to connect — Fluid, Fluid 2.0, or Hardware acceleration — instead of a long list of individual codecs. On automatic, hardware AV1 is now used when the remote computer supports it.
  • Viewer: macOS: Redesigned the computer settings window (Edit Server) with a cleaner, easier-to-use layout, including a fully reworked Display settings page.
  • Connect: Improved video sharpness on NVIDIA graphics at medium bandwidths.

Bug Fixes

  • Viewer: Windows: Fix being unable to cancel the connection after entering an incorrect password.
  • Viewer: Windows: Fix a duplicate certificate-verification prompt, and a related crash, when connecting to a server with an untrusted certificate.
  • Connect: Fix several crashes, including during video encoding and when running on macOS 26.
  • Connect: macOS: Fix the remote session freezing when the Mac's audio system stops responding.
  • Connect: macOS: Fix non-administrator users being unable to create virtual displays.
  • Connect: macOS: Fix USB redirection problems, including being unable to use more than one device at a time and failures after reconnecting.
  • Note Stream Deck: To forward a Stream Deck to the remote computer, first disable it in the local Stream Deck app — open the app's settings, go to the Devices tab, select your device, and turn off "Enabled" - because the local app otherwise keeps exclusive control of it. Then connect and choose Remote → Devices and select the Stream Deck.
  • Connect: macOS: Fix a buildup of stalled screen-capture attempts when the computer is low on memory.
  • Connect: Windows: Fix the remote screen appearing black on computers with certain Intel integrated graphics, such as the Intel N100.
  • Connect: Windows: Fix a black screen when connecting to a computer with no monitor attached, including at the Windows login screen.
  • Connect: Windows: Fix the mouse pointer appearing oversized when the computer uses 125%, 150%, or 175% display scaling.
  • Connect: Windows: Fix command-line options such as registering with a connect code failing when the Connect agent is already running.
