MS remote desktop doesn't use GPU.

[ED_GO]

We are running a simultanous RDS setup where it allows us to login multiple users to the machine. We dont want VMs as we want bare metal interface but we need to have RDS recognise the GPU driver not MS remote dispay adapter.  We are running Win server 2022, we tried enabing the GPU rendering in regedit for the RDS but to no avail.

We have an Nvidia A16 GPU in a DL385 Gen11 and it is recognised in the device manager however dxdiag shows its using the repote display adapter instead.

Any Idea how we can make this work?

Edit: Title updated and also the regedit to force hardware rendering is here Guide base on what I have read so far this should work with the host. Our GPU is an accelerator hence it doesnt have any video output added snip here:

Hi,

As I know, its Windows feature which does not allow to modify display settings when connected remotely.
Some where I read that some particular video cards and its drivers allows this setting to be done remotely.
