Re: Is there a way to turn off Group Policy's Desktop during Termi

Hi Andy,

Thanks for your update! I appreciate your time and efforts to the issue.

Based on my research, when terminal service session setup, all data is
transferred by bitmap. If we enabled active desktop and add an image to
transfer on network, it increases data transfer volume so it is normal
symptom to show desktop slowly. Also it is decided by your network transfer
quality.

We can try to do the following suggestions to see if thing turns to be
better :

1. Please change network speed to Modem (28.8 kbps) in Remote Desktop
connection (Remote Desktop connection -> Options -> Experience ->
Performance -> Modem (28.8 kbps)).


2. When you RDP to client using RWW, try to change network speed to Modem
(28.8 kbps) and also screen size to small (88x600) ( Option settings ->
Screen size)

3. When you RDP to some client, try to click minimize button and then click
maximize button of remote desktop again to trigger desktop image reapplied.

Try to test, how about the result?

Hope above information helps! We are glad to help.

Have a nice weekend!

Best Regards,

Jenny Wu
