Slow RDP (Prior to Connection) and Task Manager
Hi There,
I've burnt a hole in google's bottom line search for answers for this, but I have come up negative on all counts.
Hence I have to change from been a lurker to a poster.
Machine: 4 year old, Intel 2 core hardware (3GHz ish), 8G RAM, - All running off 250GB SSD. Normally - for desktop apps and general run of the mill stuff - this thing is blisteringly quick.
Did a fresh install of Win10_64. Thumbs up, all sweet. Went to set up RDP links for the services that this machine has to access - uh oh. Open task Manager uh-oh.
Now - to explain. Notepad - launches in less than a split second - chrome, IE, etc (the heavier apps) take < 1s for a window to appear. A little longer and the window is populated.
Task Manager (right click off explorer) maybe 10 seconds, before it will show itself.
RDP - now we are in a different league. Windows knows something is fishy, because it politely tells me that the program is unresponsive by redrawing it's taskbar. When it gets to typing an address into the RDP, it can take upto 5 seconds prior to a keystroke echoing on the screen. I have TaskMan open at this point, the system is idle. Nothing is being stressed, especially not the RDP App. Establishing a saved RDP session can be 20 seconds, establishing a new one takes minutes. Once the RDP session is open this problem is gone.
Thoughts? My best guess is there is some sort of GUI lockup somewhere. I managed to diagnose one of these for a friend last week - it turned out to be OpenGL Resource starvation across multiple apps when it looks like global locks were not being handled correctly. This only took me about 15 min to figure this out. This RDP issue I have spent considerably longer on, and since this is all native windows apps, and they work on all other setups in the same environment, I'm a bit stumped.
Oh - the machine previously had Win7_32 on it and there was no issues.
Has anyone seen this before? - any pointers?
Before anyone asks - there is nothing but default AV on there, so nothing hooking the OS in inappropriate places.
Thanks
