Web pages not loading correctly Windows VM

oso 1

Some internet pages dont load properly from remote desktop, parts of text will be overlapping or missing, buttons dont work to click on etc.
As soon as I go to them from regular computer the page looks fine, its only from the server that its messed up.
Any ideas?

Does this happens only to specific pages ?

Most likely it is the fact that you're running an old browser on the server and the site doesn't support it. Windows Server is going to be running IE 11 which many sites don't support. It could be related to the site itself using bad paths but you'll see that on other machines as well.

Use your browser's F12 tools to look to see where things are failing. This is likely not an issue you just cannot browse from the server. Browsing from the server is only useful when you're diagnosing site permissions or runtime errors anyway.

ok, thanks.
unfortunately I do need to be able to browse from the server for other reasons as the server is in a different country to me in order to be next to other specific servers for better ping.
I switched to Firefox to see if it was different & page loaded perfectly but then crashes soon after.
Could this be due to internet speed?

Page errors can be caused by any # of things. Debugging a web app requires understanding the code and using the F12 tools to see the network calls. However a slow speed would likely not crash unless you had timeouts making API calls back to the server. But speed wouldn't be an issue running directly on the server unless it is calling things on other servers. Profiling tools would help here.
