I do not have these options as my connection is set to automatically detect, which I also see is a suggested solution to the issue. So clearly this didn't help me.Īny other ideas? I am running Windows 10. Updating options in the Remote Desktop application to uncheck 'font smoothing' and 'desktop composition'. ![]() This seems to have been the #1 solution for a lot of people,īut this is how mine is already set. Last solution I saw was to go into Intel Graphics Settings (by right clicking on the desktop) > 3D > and selecting "Turn Off" under Conservative Morphological Anti-Aliasing. Also have tried using 16bit, 15bit, etcģ. If I reduce the size, it opens my remote up in a small window that doesn't expand to the full size of my display and also does not solve the blurring issue.

Updating options in the Remote Desktop application to uncheck "font smoothing" and "desktop composition". I have found other forums discussing this issue, but none of the suggested solutions actually workġ. When I am logging into my work PC via Remote Desktop Connection, the font is so blurry, its nearly impossible to read let alone actually work. On your local Windows PC: In the search box on the taskbar, type Remote. Here’s a screenshot from my RDP session with about 10% scaling:īased on my testing it works just like it should: You just enabled smart sizing, and forget about it.I need help. Use the Display configuration slider to change remote desktop resolution. You can now resize the RDP window and see smart sizing in action. Now, in the windowed RDP session, click the top-left corner and in the menu enable Smart sizing: This actually toggles between full screen and windowed mode. On my laptop it actually requires Ctrl-Alt-Fn-Break, since Pause/Break button nowadays seems to have to functions. Depending where you put the slider specifies the max size of the remote session.Īfter you’ve connected, press Ctrl-Alt-Break. When connecting, you can connect with any display size. My server is Windows Server 2019 and my client workstation is Windows 10 (1809), so that’s more than enough to get dynamic scaling to work. While the size of the Remote Desktop session can still be set when you initiate the connection, you can also now freely adjust it while being connected.įirst, you’ll need to connect from Windows 8.1/Server 2012 R2 to Windows 8.1/Server 2012 R2 (or newer). If youre trying to exit Full Screen, you can also hover your mouse at the top of the screen, itll show up the menu as below.

Several tools, like Remote Desktop Connection Manager from Microsoft ( download) have kind of resolved this issue, but it would always mean an additional software install on whatever host system you were working on. ![]() ago I use Remmina on my Lenovo (2.5k, not 4k), you can set whatever size/resolution you want. ![]() Just small enough as not to fill your desktop (and to fit in a window, so less than your max resolution on the host), but large enough to actually be useful. Click on the top left icon on your RDP window (the computer monitor icon) and from that drop down you can click on the Zoom menu option. Before clicking Connect you have to scroll the slider from Large (Full screen) to something smaller. You first have to close the current connection, and start a new connection. Experienced RDP users know how to do this, but less regular users always seem to struggle with this view: Remote Desktop with default settings My number one gripe with RDP has in the past few years been the amazingly clumsy way to resize a remote session from full screen to something smaller. Today while being connected to my home server to do some development work I decided to test if the new features in Remote Desktop (RDP) work or provide any real benefits. I remember reading about this feature when Windows 8.1 was made generally available in late 2013, but I didn’t have time then to try this out. Thanks for reading my blog!
