If you’re a remote desktop user, you know the importance of speed. You need to be able to access your workstation quickly and easily, and that’s where these tips come in.

  1. Use a fast connection: A fast connection is essential for remote desktop use. You don’t want to wait too long for your workstation to start up, or you’ll have to wait forever for the next screen refresh.
  2. Use a reliable server: Make sure your server is reliable and up-to-date. If it isn’t, your workstation will likely not start up correctly or be able to connect properly.
  3. Optimize your settings: Make sure your computer is set up properly for remote desktop use by optimizing its settings. This will help make your experience faster and more efficient.

Launch Remote Desktop and put in the remote computer you want to connect to then hit the Options button.

When the Options menu opens up reduce the Remote desktop size and choose a lower color setting. 

Also under the Experience tab I uncheck everything except Reconnect if connection is dropped.  Now hit Connect.

Your remote session will be using a lot less resources and should speed up your session while working on getting an issue resolved.
