The good news: It turns out Microsoft thought ahead (as they often do) and provided a new policy for configuring the controlled system to use the older, tried and proven XDDM model. Do a search for “Windows 10 WDDM RDP” on Google and you’ll see that a fair number of folks are having RDP problems. Therein lies the problem.įor some folks trying to make use of this combination of software and OS versions, the problem can be even worse: They just get a black screen. Remote connections take milliseconds, if not tens or hundreds of milliseconds. Up to now RDP has run off the XDDM display driver model, which is apparently better optimized for an interface that takes a noticeable amount of time to update a mouse cursor given mouse position input. This may not seem like a big deal, but trust me, while it does not leave the system completely unusable, when you move the mouse anything but excruciatingly slowly it makes it just plain irritating to use.Ī bunch of web searches later, culminating in a visit to the VMware workstation forum, I learned that Microsoft has enabled (and made default) the use of a second driver model on the system being controlled: The WDDM model. The only thing that changed coincident with the introduction of the problem was the office system’s OS version.īased on observation, with Win 10 v1903, whenever a new graphic is loaded into the mouse cursor (e.g., the arrow changes to a finger or spinner or whatever) the cursor pointer is moved back to the position it was in where the change was requested by the controlled system. RDPing into my office system is something I had been doing quite effectively and seamlessly when it was running Win 10 v1809, without any hint of such a problem. When I used my company’s VPN and RDP to control it remotely, the mouse would stutter or jitter. When I upgraded my office computer to Windows 10 v1903 it created a new problem. Have you seen a jittery mouse or black screen when controlling a Windows 10 v1903 or newer system via RDP? I’ve discovered a workaround.
