We do not like to use the Microsoft Remote Desktop app as much as we do other options, such as Team Viewer. With Team Viewer, all you need is the password of the Team Viewer account installed on the computer you wish to connect to, and you are very easily inside the machine. Microsoft tools for remote connecting have never been so simple. Thus we can only recommend those who are not technically-minded individuals use the alternatives.
But for those who do use the Microsoft Remote Desktop app, you will be pleased to know some settings can be altered. With the Microsoft Remote Desktop app, you can choose whether or not the settings you change are applied globally or not. Applying the change globally means the same settings will be shared among all remote connections you create. This can make life easier if you know you are doing similar tasks between PCs.
The following tutorial demonstrates how to change the global settings in the Microsoft Remote Desktop app when using a version of the Windows 10 operating system.

You can change the global settings for the Remote Desktop app from the app’s settings menu. Here is how to do that:

In conclusion, that is how to change the global settings for the Microsoft Remote Desktop app in Windows 10.
