The result is blurry icons but the sessions should be scaled correctly in any situation. In this mode, the OS fakes a 96DPI system for the window and scales the window as it were a non high DPI process. If DPI awareness limitations are a showstopper for you, I recommend to uncheck "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings". MS needs to implement "zoom" support when connecting to a hyper-V host's console session.ĭPI awareness has it's limitation because MS didn't really implemented it fully. I'm afraid there's nothing on our side we can do to make that work. So the issue with Hyper-V is that you are essentially connect to a "virtual console" session which isn't aware of any OS beneath. Not all Windows versions support DPI zoom. Thanks you but thats not what I am looking for. you can then simply select all your connections in the doc.Īs far as I know, zoom only works if the remote OS implements the necessary APIs. You would need to filter it so it only applies when the user logs into the RDS Server. you simply enable the option to show all objects from the subfolders in the dashboard and sort/filter by remote desktop connection type. Note that the file is specific to one connection.You can easily bulk-edit all rdp connections even from different folders. Depending on how & where I want to work at the time, I use the appropriate RDP shortcut on the desktop to launch the Remote Desktop session. On my desktop currently, I have two RDP files which connect to Client ABC: one file which is set to my optimal laptop resolution, and another file which works better with my extra monitor at home. For example, I have one RDP file I like to use which is set to 1890x1000. Here’s the fun part – you can adjust the “desktopwidth” and “desktopheight” to the precise pixel settings you want. Go find the file you just saved right-click it and choose to open with Notepad (or the text editor of your choice).Īfter you open the file in Notepad, see the screen resolution settings near the top (which came from the Display tab). Note in the following screen shot that I put “Home_Monitor” in the name:Įditing the Screen Resolution Size Within the RDP File I find that using the Desktop is a perfect location for this file – because you’ll actually launch Remote Desktop from this file after it’s set up. The Save As button will prompt you for the location of a RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) file. I usually don’t change anything on the Programs, Experience, or Advanced tabs. Under Keyboard, you can also control whether an ALT+TAB works on your primary machine or the remote desktop session (boy did that drive me nuts till I discovered that setting a while back!). Change now for example the DPI setting to 125 or choose a custom text size 4. Now click on 'Make text and other items larger or smaller' 3. You can also find this setting in the Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Display 2. By using the slider in the Display configuration, you can set a custom resolution of the Remote Desktop. On the Local Resources tab, choose to have your Printers, Clipboard and Drives available. In the Remote Desktop session just right click on the Desktop and select 'Screen resolution'. Get started by searching Remote Desktop Connection or mstsc in the search box. Let’s do one more thing that’s not related to screen resolution before we finish. That may not matter, but just in case I have mentioned it. I am using RDC manager so I can maintain multiple connections easily rather than a single RDC connection. Apparently, no one is looking at this post though. For now, just select the resolution that is closest to what you want: 1 Franz Schenk 296 Dec 20, 2022, 8:46 AM Anybody out there 0 votes Carolyn Post 0 May 9, 2023, 7:37 AM Same question here. You can configure font smoothing on the Experience tab in Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) or by. This is great, but sometimes you need a screen resolution that’s just a little bit different than what’s offered on the slider. By default, font smoothing is allowed for remote connections. On the Display tab, you find the standard screen resolution settings. To get to all the good stuff, we need to expand the Options. When you launch Remote Desktop, you are initially presented with a very simple window: The screen shots shown below are from a Windows 7 machine. Click on an empty spot in the Remote Desktop App to close the window. Turn off the Start Connection in Full Screen Mode. Click on Setting in the top right corner. (The smaller the better for bandwidth issues.) You can also adjust the Settings on how remote desktop starts up. Level: Familiarity with Remote Desktop is assumed. Change the setting to 1920 x 1080 or smaller, as it works for you. Overview: A quick tip about how to get the resolution of a Remote Desktop session just right for your monitor, so you don’t have to deal with scrollbars.
