Enable RemoteFX
Spamme1 opened this issue · comments
It would be nice, if it would be possible to use the RemoteFX, which improves the "speed" of the remote desktop: Optimizing RDP for casual use (Windows 7 SP1, RemoteFX)
But I don't know if it can be made in Window 7 home, because:
- Windows 7 home doesn't have the group policy editor, but this can be solved easily ...
- But also if you enable the group policy editor, those settings are not available. Anyway ...
- You can always enable the RemoteFX in the registry, but if you do it, the remote desktop doesn't work anymore
I doubt that RDP Wrapper will support this feature, because RemoteFX requires special hardware. This makes it hard to investigate.
Also here is related issue #59.
Upgraded to Windows 10 and it is enabled automatically, it is a big boost in the remote connection.
Is RemoteFX working when the Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 Pro anniversary edition is used as host?
No, I just upgrade windows 7 home to window 10 home and the remote desktop now is 10 times faster, I suppose it is because of the RemoteFx, otherwise I can't explain the increased performances.
The improvement comes from newer RDP 8+. Additionally, you can install and enable RDP 8 on Windows 7 (but not 2008 R2) by following steps in MS KB 2592687.

Для теста можно на Windows 10 Pro\Ent поставить Hyper-V, он есть в компонентах, создать виртуальную машину (Windows 7 - 10, server 2008-2016), тип - gen 1 или gen 2 (с 10ки\2016го сервера remote fx завезли в gen2) . Тогда карта в пк, которая поддерживает DirectX 11 (минимум) - добавит возможность RemoteFX на гостевую машину.
Серверная видеокарта не нужна, если тестировать не на серверной хостовой системе.
Успешно проверено добавление RemoteFX к гостевым машинам со следующими параметрами:
Видеокарта на хостовой машине:
- Nvidia 980
- Radeon RX960
Связвка с гостевыми системами в hyper-v:
- windows server 2016 (gen2),
- windows server 2012 r2 (gen2),
- windows 10 (gen2),
Надеюсь, это поможет для дальнейшей отладки\разработки.
The following is a tested and known working configuration for RemoteFX:
- Host Operating System: Windows Server 2016 (14393.447) with Hyper-V feature enabled, with no updates
- Guest Operating System: Windows 10 1703 (15063.0), with no updates
NOTE:
- The host machine (obviously) must have a RemoteFX-capable graphics card installed (in my setup, I used NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti).
- Do not install any updates on the host operating system. Windows Server 2016 update KB4103723 (14393.2248) is known to break RDPWrapper with RemoteFX (you will get remote desktop licensing error when you try to 'RDP' into a RemoteFX-enabled guest).
- Try to stick with Windows 10 1703 (15063.0) for guest operating system. Windows 10 1709 has some graphics driver issue when used as a RemoteFX-enabled guest. Windows 10 1803 has not been tested.

hi I have problem in using USB RemoteFX with rdpwrapper but I found way to enable it but for one time for one or multi sessions and I need to do that every time create new rdp session !
RDPWrapper and RemoteFx worked for me (w11 client > w10 host) after enabling more stuff in group policies. Here's what I did: https://blog.tedd.no/2011/04/28/optimizing-rdp-for-casual-use-windows-7-sp1-remotefx/
Update:
Actually, I don't know if this helped, or if restarting the host PC each time I want it to work does the trick. Anyways I've gotta restart the host each time for it to work. Probably, similar to what @Da3mem experiences. Also just for my Xbox controller, mice do not work.
Update 2: It is not usable. the Xbox controller keeps disconnecting after a couple of minutes I need to switch windows for it to work again.
