Different connection clients to Windows Virtual Desktop
In the official documention, it says that : [ Spoiler ] From end user point of view, we find that MSTSC is so much faster than both Remote Desktop and the web client, so if possible we would lik...
Lionel_B4 : Hi Lionel! Can you elaborate what you mean with much faster? For features you are missing you can suggest them here. Please add a little bit of context which problem that one solves on your side: https://aka.ms/wvdfbk
- Faster meaning the feedback of every action we do on Windows 10.
Typical example is typing in a Notepad. Using MSTSC the feedback is instantaneous, while using the web client or Remote Desktop, the delay between pressing a key and the character appearing on the screen is a few hundred milliseconds. Presumably because it uses HTML5 to emulate RDP.Lionel_B4 Out of interest which datacenter is your VM located in? During testing I found that the connection is very laggy as you describe to my VMs in the EU as the gateway connection is going from the EU to the US and back to the EU
I'm connecting from Malaysia to VMs in Singapore. Pretty small distance compared to EU-US but the web client and Remote Desktop client is still so laggy it makes it pretty impossible to use in a call center.
I just want to know for Azure WVD, if we can use MSTSC (RDP) a.k.a. Remote Desktop Connection, until the performance issue is improved in the other 2 clients?? or hopefully the upcoming Linux client is better.
