Enable GPU rendering for Microsoft Remote Desktop
Some software uses powerful graphics and the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) for fast display of the screen. However, running engineering software and other graphics-heavy software in a Remote Desktop environment can be challenging for the primary reason that Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop does not allow GPU rendering by default. Starting up the graphics-heavy software may generate errors when the software attempts to initialize DirectX or OpenGL GPU display drivers on the host computer. This issue can be easily resolved by adjusting the group policy on the host computer to allow the use of GPU rendering during a Remote Desktop session.
