When adding the /multimon parameter in the RDP_FLAGS environment variable, located at the winapps.conf file, and then installing Winapps, the detected apps don't seem to detect clicks when opened, being the "Windows" app (The desktop shortcut to access the VM) the only exception to this.
In addition, you can't leave the virtual machine window unless you log out from it.
