Can't get Windows App to remote into my PC

I have a PC with Windows 11 Pro and both computers are on the same network.

I can't seem to login though. I've tried different usernames such as

PC-user-name
EMAIL@hotmail.com
PC-NAME\user
MicrosoftAccount\EMAIL@hotmail.com

Remote Desktop is enabled on the Windows machine.

Anyone figure out how to use it?

Up until 2022, macOS used to show a colorful flag for active input source in the menu bar. Now it's dull monochromatic codes. There's an app that brings back glanceability - Colorful Input Menu Flags for macOS.

Colorful Input Menu Flags menu bar item & menu

Up until May of 2022, when macOS 12.4 was released, there used to be a colorful flag for active input source in the menu bar. You would use your keyboard shortcuts to switch between languages you were accustomed to, and you'd see the flag change in the menu bar. Even with your peripheral vision, the colors used to be a very useful cue.

In Monterey 12.4, Apple changed that to a dull, monochromatic language code. There is some sort of explanation behind Apple's decision, but it never sat right to me that it was now "the new way or the highway". Within a week I've developed Colorful Input Menu Flags and hoped it would make it through App Review.

CIMF is a small menu bar utility that displays emoji-based country flags for the active keyboard layout. For languages that are official in multiple countries, the app offers customization - you can pick which flag you want to see. Some Welsh users were very vocal around this :)

What it offers:

Clear, high-contrast flag indicators for strong glanceability
Tiny memory footprint and minimal resource usage

It doesn’t replace or modify Apple’s built-in input menu — it simply adds its own visual indicator alongside it.

If you rely on multiple keyboard inputs daily and want a faster visual cue than text codes, this restores that experience in a lightweight way.

You can get it from the Mac App Store for a dollar. I hope the flair Lifetime is correct - it's a one time payment and I intend to keep the app up to date for my lifetime

Kando is amazing

Having never reliably gotten the Actions Ring with the current MX4 in LogiOptions+ working I was getting frustrated. I recently got an Ultrawide OLED and wanted my taskbar / dock hidden to prevent screenburn but soon realised that waiting for it to pop up to switch apps when I'm working was a bit tedious. Actions Ring seemed like the answer - using it like a circle dock. Except that it only works sometimes on Mac, and it's a bit clunky even when it does.

So I went down a rabbit hole of free and paid circle dock / launcher thingies - Pieoneer, Launchy, Oribital, Dory. None of them did what I wanted - they all had their quirks. Then I discovered Kando. It's fantastic - highly customisable, cross platform (Linux, Max, and Windows). I'm barely scratching the surface by just using it as a launcher. Nice that I have the same thing on my Mac and Windows machines.

One cool feature - you can have multiple Menus, each triggered by a different set of keystrokes. I have two and have them assigned to two buttons on my MX4, but it also worked well off one button for the main menu, and ctrl+same button for secondary menu.

It's really neat, so I thought I'd share. And it's free. Developed by u/Schneegans who has some great YouTube content describing it.
