When you disconnect from the Windows box the OpenGL driver is not reloaded. When you connect to a Windows box the OpenGL Driver is unloaded and you end up with software emulation of OpenGL. Remote Desktop and OpenGL does not play very well. Set REG_DWORD:bEnumerateHWBeforeSW to 1 to turn ON using GPUs in RDP.

I was able to successfully run Ultimaker CURA via with no issues, and Repetier-Host now displays OpenGL 4.6, and everything finally runs fast as it should.Īs usual, this Policy is kept in the HKLM registry group in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services Use hardware graphics adapters for all Remote Desktop Services sessions Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment Pretty much fits the "only baseline features" description. I also noticed that Repetier Host's "preview" window runs terribly slow, and Repetier detects only an OpenGL 1.1 card. Cura shouted "cannot initialize OpenGL 2.0 context".

I stumbled upon this problem when trying to run Ultimaker CURA over standard Remote Desktop from a Windows 10 client to a Windows 10 host. I suppose that for performance reasons, using a hardware graphics card is disabled, and RDP uses a software-emulated graphics card driver that provides only some baseline features. ( Source)Īny other solutions or corrections are greatly appreciated.Īccording to this article it seems that now RDP handles newer versions of Direct3D and OpenGL on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016, but by default it is disabled by Group Policy.

For instance you cannot change the desktop resolution and GraphicsCard drivers usually just disable their setting menus. Problem:Ī RDP session of Windows does not expose the graphics card, at least not directly. This is a write-up I wish existed when I started researching this, both for coders and non-coders. Solutions for this are dependent on the use case and answers are fragmented across the vast depths of the net. OpenGL and Windows Remote don't play along nicely.
