Windows Vista RDP Slowness

Posted by Michichael on Thursday May 21, 2009 5:18 pm

Well, is Vista being a little slow for you over remote desktop? You're not alone. It's slow for a lot of folks. the big revelation was when I got myself upgraded to an 18MBPS down, 1.5 MBPS up connection through AT&T, and my remote connection from work to home was STILL slow! I ran a speed test... Keep in mind this is on an 18MBPS connection at home, I'm remoted in over a 6 MBPS down, 1.5 Up pipe from work:

 

Wow! Now that's slow....

 

So jeeze! What's up with that! I did a bit of digging and actually found help on yet another blog.  To save you some time, here's how you fix the problem.

Open a command prompt: (Start, Run, "cmd", Enter]. In this prompt, copy and paste the following: netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

Make sure you do this as an Administrator! And viola!

 

Blazing!

  So there ya have it folks! Easy, quick way to fix the slow RDP problem on your Vista machine. Keep in mind, this only works on Vista, and you have to run it as administrator! [Man, did it really take me two years to catch on to this? I need to stop being lazy and fix the problems before they get to me!]
