Initial RDP Connection to Windows 10 slow to connect

When connecting to Windows 10 via RDP, the connection seems to hang for a while before actually connecting. Before migrating to Windows 10, this was not an issue. What is the recommended way to resolve this?


After doing some digging, I was able to find the solution. It's a result of aggressive auto-tuning of the connection which causes the delay on startup.

Running the following should resolve your issue.

netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=highlyrestricted
