step2 might be a solution

and this

superuser.com

the problem the solution is to is lack of support for games.

softxpand sometimes encounters seemingly the same error windows encounters every time a game is launched.

maintenance of a white-list may be all that is needed.

1402466 2015-07-01 02:27:00 With Multipoint server & softxpand you have to remember its basically running as a remote desktop for various users. While general day to day activities are not a problem, other tasks like gaming may encore the old brick wall that it cant handle, its not really designed to run like that. While they can run games, you cant have enough "grunt" and plenty of it. Example: the card you say you are using r7240 Its a budget toy compared to higher spec gaming cards.

Have set up and used earlier versions of Multipoint server (2011 & 2012) and they run fine on day to day tasks.

1402467 2015-07-01 02:53:00 im using a gtx750ti and a G3240 with 8GB of ram.

dota2 runs well with both players using a different GPU under softxpand.

in 4 days my ANNOYING trial expires and ill revert from windows7 to server2016 and give these fixes a try.

odly enough sometimes gameplay is flawless on a game and other times the same game will inexplicably lag on one gpu or the other. counterstike 1.6 for example.

the social computing revolution is upon us, the last vestages of the personal computing revolution must be transformed.

the trial was most annoying with automatic 1hour logoffs on secondary seats.

sandboxie is mandatory for many games, steam in particular.

with a bit of polish windows 11 might have native multiseat.
if i had the cables and such i could happily host a 6 player lan of many oldschool games on a single computer.
an i3 or i7k would come in handy along with more ram for such an occasion.

1402468 2015-07-01 03:30:00 If you have been keeping up with the play, there wont be a windows 11, not for a long time anyway. Windows 10 is "work in progress" and will have added features (think of them as modules) added at a later date.

From What I've read and seen never actually seen multiseat mentioned. ( apart from actual Multiseat software /OS)

my ode to windows sums it up nicely. they'll spend the next 15 years playing catchup with OSX version numbers.

1402470 2015-07-01 07:15:00 Windows 9 is the only finished (trouble-free) version yet. XP was a bit of a tech's income earner for quite a while, but got quite good before they abandoned it. Vista was Windows ME with frilly curtains, Win 7 is probably the best windoze yet for regular use, but it is too hungry and bloated for heavy use. Windows wAIT and now TENse are a desperate attempt to catch up to the look and feel of the Eeepc without the refinement (but they haven't got there yet).

If apple's offerings could be compared to a tricycle with training wheels and glitter, them W8 & 10 could be compared to a locomotive with training wheels. Probably designed for Judith Collins, and McAfee to collude in illusions.
