Answer 1

Hello,

You can try to disable RemoteFX in your server side:

Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Remote Session Environment.

Disable the setting for "Use hardware graphics adapters for all Remote Desktop Services sessions".

If it doesn’t work, try modifying this registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

Set the ForegroundLockTimeout value to 0.
