Green Pixelation in When Resizing RDP Window in Windows App
Try this:
1. Verify Driver Compatibility
• Only use Microsoft-published AMD drivers for NVv4/NV8as v4 VMs.
• Recommended versions: 20.Q4-1 or 21.Q2-1 for Windows builds up to 1909.
• Avoid installing drivers from AMD’s public site—use the AMD GPU Driver Extension or manually install the .inf files from the extension package.
2. Disable WDDM Graphics Redirection
• Go to Group Policy:
• Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Remote Session Environment
o Set “Use WDDM graphics display driver for Remote Desktop Connections” to Disabled.
o This forces RDP to use legacy rendering, which may eliminate pixelation.
3. Force GPU Rendering Settings
• Enable GPU acceleration via Group Policy or Intune:
o Set “Use hardware graphics adapters for all Remote Desktop Services sessions” to Enabled.
o Also enable H.264/AVC or HEVC/H.265 encoding if supported.
4. Try Fixed Resolution
• Instead of dynamic resizing, set a fixed resolution for the RDP session.
• You can do this via .rdp file or Windows App settings.
5. Use Web Client or Remote Desktop Client
• If the issue persists in the Windows App, try accessing the VM via the AVD Web Client or Remote Desktop Client for Windows. These may handle resizing differently.
