Enabling hardware acceleration over RDP

Question

_{Tuesday, February 19, 2019 3:41 PM}

Hello

A lot of our users use Remote Desktop from their Windows 10 Pro machines to other physical machines running Windows 10 Pro. Both sides have DirectX 12.
However when they run our .NET application utilizing DirectX Windows switches to software rendering mode over RDP).
Running dxdiag.exe shows hardware acceleration to be on when you are on the machine console itself but over RDP its disabled.
No error message .. Windows just switches to software rendering.
My question is how can we enable hardware acceleration over RDP.

Many thanks,

Dal
