1428155 2016-11-02 03:55:00 Has anyone come across Win10 RDC bugs ?? (latest version 10, anniversary update)
or even better , does anyone have Win10 RDC fixes :)

From win10pro to win7pro : the screen refresh/redraw rate is an absolute shocker .
from xp to the same Win7pro : speed is about whats expected (so not an internet issue)
Ive updated the Intel graphics drv on both the Win10 & the Win7

Cheers

1428156 2016-11-02 04:10:00 Just tried to my WHS which is basically Server 2003 with a different interface. Works fine.

Just thinking, don't have any W7's left they have all been upgraded.

Have you tried playing about with the experience settings ?

1428157 2016-11-02 04:11:00 I've not had any issues and do RDP all over the show. As Wainui suggested, check the settings in the RDP connection. wratterus (105)
1428158 2016-11-02 09:13:00 I think Ive found the issue

when remoting FROM a pc/laptop to win7 work PC,
and the PC you are remoting FROM has a res of 1920x1080 , then the 'workpc' remote session defaults to 1920 resolution. The screen redraws are slow
Remote from a PC with a res of say 1280x , then screen redraws on the remote PC are much faster , as the remote work PC res goes to 1280 to match.

any way to force the remote PC into a lower res during the remote, and still keep the RDC full screen ?

This is all for a laptop that has 1920x1080 remoting onto a work win7 pc. Just too slow at that res
I cant lower the screen res on the laptop, doing that means the laptops display wont be full screen

1428159 2016-11-02 19:18:00 Doing a bit of googling, seems its a common problem.

The workable solution is in the Remote Desktop settings ( from W10), under Display/ display configuration, change the sizing to match the PC being remote into.( Work 7)

The downside is of course the window you are working in will resize down as well.

BUT and theres always a BUT :D If you right click next to the options for maximize, minimize, etc. You'll see an option "zoom" - Change to what ever you like. Of Course it wont be as clear, but (told you there was one) :p Maximize the screen it will expand the screen out to suit.

1428160 2016-11-02 19:58:00 There is a option in RDC settings :remote desktop size " that does the same thing.
Unfortunately , as you say , it also resizes the RDC window : not a good option on a 13" laptop (thats what Im trying to get to work)

The whole point of this new (high spec) 13" laptop was to make RDC faster , its turned out slower :badpc:

There is also desktopheight & desktopwidth that can be changed on the saved RDC shortcut . That doesnt seem to work at all on 10 .
Also, from memory (a year ago) , there was a patch to run on the 'work' win7 PC that would allow res(?) to be changed ,that didnt seem to work either
when I tried that a year ago for a different issue

1428161 2016-11-02 20:21:00 It should resize on the W10 to match ?

Just tried it again (w10). On a settings of 1280 the remote window on this monitor 22" covers roughly 3/4 the screen, even maxed out and is clear.

Increasing the zoom to 150% covers all the screen + more and is fuzzy but workable.

Got to go out ( already running late) but is the Laptop 13" the one that has the W10 ?

1428162 2016-11-02 20:32:00 It has to be a easy to use fix , with no tweeking settings as you go.
Owner isnt PC savvy , and wont want to be tweeking settings on the fly(while under stress to quickly remote into work, & deal with out of office internet issues) . If it was just for me, then Id do it that way


Just for future reference , he's a fix (manifest fix) . Not perfect, but Im getting there.
www.blackforce.co.uk

Seems its a huge (no pun) issue on some surface's : small screen with really high local res (3000 x 2000)
Note that major win10 updates will reverse the changes in this fix, but its then just a matter re-doing of both steps in the fix.

1428163 2016-11-02 20:44:00 Changing the RDC 'experience' setting to 'low speed' was the last piece of the puzzle
Now its working really well : full screen, lower res , fast screen redraws

Cheers

1428164 2016-11-02 23:04:00 You should try NoMachine... Just putting it out there, it's waaaaaaaaaay faster, and the screen scaling options are much nicer! ;)
Free too, for what it's worth!
