  Hi Tammaso,

  It is said that Windows 10 does not enable the GPU for rendering over RDP by default, but you can change this by editing the Group policy.

  Steps are as below:

  • Open the Edit Group Policy tool from Control Panel or use the Windows Search dialog (Windows Key + R, then type in gpedit.msc)
  • Browse to: Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment
  • Then enable Use the hardware default graphics adapter for all Remote Desktop Services sessions
  • Update the Group policy

  Please take your time to test above steps and let us know if it is workable.

  Also some requirements and configuration to utilize vGPU:

  Thanks,

  Jenny

  Thank you for the answer.
  I already saw this setting of the policy in "Remote Session Environment". But doesn't function...
  I set the gpolicy in the host only. Do you think I should try to set gpolicy in the client?

  thanks,

  Hi Tommaso,

  Thanks for the quick response. I've found this similar query after searching a lot:

  And also, you can test the group police editing in this blog: https://blog.tedd.no/2015/06/23/optimizing-rdp-for-casual-use/

  Please Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.

  Hope either of them will be workable for you.

  Thanks,

  Jenny
