To be able to use dropdown option for slicer you have to use the (old) classic slicer. Not the new slicer.

Hi @AbithaRamanan - Try to install the latest version of Power BI Desktop in your Virtual remote desktop from microsoft website. 

Download Microsoft Power BI Desktop from Official Microsoft Download Center

still issue exist publish the report into power bi services with same slicers, once publish there you can edit the report and change the slicers setting style as per your requirement and download the pbix file.

 

Hopefully it will get resolved once you install the latest version. It works
