How to force UDP connection on Microsoft Remote Desktop, when connecting to another computer

Question

Hi! I have a problem with the speed of connection to the remote PC using Microsoft Remote Desktop. For some reason it's using WebSocket for transport protocol by default. I have a stable internet connection, but for some reason when I connect, the available bandwidth is often low according to the stats in the program, so the picture "lags". When I tried another internet provider - MS remote desktop connects to the same remote PC using UDP protocol by default and everything seems fine even with lower internet speeds. The question is, how can I force UDP connection on my main connection? I guess the problem can be with the ports, or something else, probably the other provider has better settings for the connection, so I'm not sure how to force UDP connection on my main provider instead of WebSocket. I read an article about this topic and tried to open 3389 port in the Windows Firewall, but looks like it didn't help. It continues to connect using WebSocket. Probably you can give me another advice.

The local OS is Windows 10

Hello there,

What you want to do is Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Remote Session Environment. Enable Remote Desktop Protocol 8.0 set to Enabled.Then Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections. Select RDP Transport Protocols set to Use both UDP and TCP

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) itself can be configured to use both TCP and UDP for different aspects of the connection, such as multimedia and audio streaming. The usage of UDP for RDP is typically called "UDP transport" or "UDP-based transport."

Hope this resolves your Query !!
