My primary workstation is our only Windows 10 machine. As of about two days ago, RDP performance on it has been just terrible, so much so that I cannot use the PC when I remote in from home. It is just incredibly slow to respond, if it ever does. Rebooting does nothing.

I bet it is related to Windows updates :(

If you hit Start > Run > MSINFO32 what build does it say you're on? I ask because the anniversary updated definitely changes a few aesthetic things, so it sounds like you are on anniversary to me.

Change the remote desktop settings resolution color depth to use 16 bits and slow connections see screen shots below: 1. Resolution Color Depth 2.Change the Experience configuration Also check the wireless connectivity or network connectivity at home to check if you are using more bandwidth than usual.

Thank you Daniel, but this is actually not applicable to my setup at home. I'm using a Mac Mini and nothing on it or my home network has changed, plus I have no issues remoting into any of my other machines at work, just the Win10 workstation.

Thanks, MD. I believe you are right. I'm on Windows 10 Pro, Version 10.0.14393 Build 14393, which apparently *does* indeed have the Anniversary Update

Yep:http://changewindows.org/build/14393 So I'm pretty sure the update is what broke RDP, question is, what will fix it? Seems like this would be a pretty big deal, right? We use WSUS, so maybe I just missed a follow-up patch that should fix this...?

I uninstalled the last 2 updates and that looks to have fixed it. Wish I'd made note of the KB number, but I just ripped them out and rebooted. My machine is a Dell Optiplex 970, if that makes any difference for anyone else who may be having this issue. Also, we use an RD Gateway server to remote in. Thanks, guys.
