Optimizing For use over Hyper-V

[mcarpenterjr]

Just did a monitor upgrade to 3 4K, this broke all of my desktop VM's in VirtualBox and I had to migrate them to hyper-v since hyper-v doesn't allow you to connect and use all your screens at once, I have to use XRDP. Which isn't a bad thing, I'm just familiar with how it should be setup when connecting locally.

Are there any settings I can use or change to get the most out of my experience? I had to downgrade the bpp to 16 if I use all my monitors, and while the mouse, cursor and other events that require minimal repaints seem performant when moving windows or switching desktops there's a considerable amount of studder. I'm not looking to get 120 frames per second at 12k, I just want to make sure my settings are set properly.
