# Install the Remote Desktop client for Windows on a per-user basis

You can install the Remote Desktop client for Windows on either a per-device or per-user basis. Installing it on a per-device basis installs the client for all users by default, and updates are controlled by an admin. Per-user installation gives users the ability to install the client themselves and apply updates.

You can install the Remote Desktop client on either a per-system or per-user basis. Installing it on a per-system basis installs the client on the machines for all users by default, and updates are controlled by the admin. Per-user installation installs the application into each users profile, giving them control over when to apply updates.

If you try to deploy the Remote Desktop client for Windows with Intune or Configuration Manager on a per-user basis by specifying the MSI file with the required parameters, the client is installed per-device instead. To guarantee a per-user installation, you'll need to create a batch file that contains the installation command.

Per-system is the default way to install the client. However, if you're deploying the Remote Desktop Client with Intune or Configuration Manager, using the per-system method can cause the Remote Desktop client auto-update feature to stop working. In these cases, you'll need to use the per-user method instead.
