Summer 2023. For our laptops, my college says no Apple Silicon Macs (Intel required). Has anyone had any issues with Microsoft RD on the latest Macs? Today they are recommended version 10.4.1 Thanks

I have been using remote desktop on my MAC for about 2 years, for a PC based program that I need for work. Within the last few months it has been crashing a lot and even deleted my program a few times recently. Is anyone else having these issues?
