How to fix slow Remote Desktop To Windows 7 PC?

Solution 1:

It's impossible to know why it may be slow without having access to more detailed info about your current setup. However if you want to try alternatives to check whether it's consistently slow (and therefore perhaps infrastructure based) or just the MS app that's slow, then you can do worse than try to use CORD which is a nice open source remote desktop alternative that's free.

Solution 2:

You can fix slow remote desktop to windows 7 PC as follows:

  • Launch Remote Desktop and put in the remote computer you want to connect to.
  • Hit the Options button.
  • When the Options menu opens up, reduce the Remote desktop size and choose a lower color setting. Also under the Experience tab I uncheck everything except Reconnect if connection is dropped.
  • Hit Connect.
