Hi,
I consider that this is default behavior and limitation to Microsoft Remote Desktop.

This is due to how RDP works. It creates a virtualized desktop version of the host machine that only uses software OpenGL which doesn't use the same extensions required when running in hardware mode.
Please refer to the information below:
“Remote Desktop (RDP) does not support OpenGL on client machines higher than 1.1.”
there are some thread for your reference.

OpenGL and Windows Remote don't play along nicely.

So I consider that maybe switching to a remote software might be an option.
Hope this helps and please help to accept as Answer if the response is useful.
