Edge users: Cannot download a RDP file

Edge users: Cannot download a RDP file

Problem: When trying to download a RDP file to connect to the virtual machine, the download is blocked or the user is being warned that .rdp files may be dangerous.
Reason: Since the new version of Edge (version 108) RDP files are being seen as potentially dangerous. 
Solution: Edge has marked RDP files as potentially harmful. There is unfortunately not much we can do from anDREa to help the problem. We recommend using browsers like Chrome or Firefox for now to avoid the issue. 
If you are using other browsers than Edge and are experiencing similar problems, please contact your Local Support team member.
