Jul 07, 2020 Windows 10 mouse stutter. This is another problem that users reported. According to them, their mouse frequently stutters which makes it harder to perform everyday tasks. Mouse freeze Windows 10. Another common problem that can appear with your mouse. Many users reported that their mouse keeps freezing on their PC. Oct 08, 2019 In Windows 10, with the Quick Access bar, we're able to add the Document Library links to the list, but can't rename them. This won't work for our users since the names of those libraries are all the same. In effect, the user running Windows 10 would see 5 'Documents' links that point to 5 different SharePoint Document Libraries. Windows server 2019 remote desktop freezes gui. I have a Windows Server 2019 Standard on a Dell PowerEdge T440 server. I can connect to it via rdp, but after some connections, it stops working only a black screen appears. When this happens after the server's gui freezes, the mouse and keyboard do nothing, same from local and from iDrac. Why does my remote desktop connection lag/freeze for about 10 seconds when a message box or notification pops up? It only affects the actual remote session and I can minimize it and use my actual pc. The remote desktop app is via citrix receiver. Remote pc is Win10. Client is Win10 and Win8.1. Tried changing the following settings.
(SOLVED!) Lag and freeze when wallpaper is changing (W10-1908)
2 discussion posts | Solved, See next post. I noticed the thread from last year with 1809 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-and-dwm-freeze-and-lag-during-wallpaper-operations/?ID=211f4b0c-04c8-45cc-bad3-c42886f93f49 and it seems to be the exact same behavior, but none of the suggested workarounds fix it. I have it loading images from reddit for wallpaper changes every 30 minutes, each time, mouse cursor lag, freezing and typing doesn't work, instead it buffers all the text I'm typing, mouse movements and clicks, and then dumps them all at once when the wallpaper changes. The transitions suggestions doesn't change anything, I though it might have been Aero color changes, but that doesn't effect it, and the real rub is that this happens on ANY computer that I've had DisplayFusion on, I don't recall which version of windows or of DF when it started. I mostly ignored it until I had time to search around or post this request. Also tried disabling application hooks, and trying the different aero color change modes, but none of those solved the problem. Are there any new suggestions that I can look into? So far I've only used three different laptops in the last 8 months moving from one to the other with completely clean, debloated installs of windows before installing DF. I don't have any other software that does anything with the wallpaper, theming, or window management installed. Only thing I can think of is hardware variations, all of the laptops have been intel/nvidia with optimus auto switching. Happens on battery or plugged in. There were some posts in the official microsoft forums about even he windows slideshow causing the same issue, but their responses as usual were worthless. I'm pretty sure the MS forum is setup to automatically cut and paste the 'why don't you reinstall windows?' answer on every single question. Any ideas? |
Ryan Blakeslee | Ok, Looks like I solved it. Writing that post gave me a few lightbulb moments to try after realizing that it is definitely an issue with nVidia Optimus. Hopefully this can be marked as solved and stay here for anyone else who is having the problem with Optimus. How: Open up Settings, Go to Graphic Settings (search for it) click the drop down and choose classic app, click add, add DisplayFusion.exe, once added, click on displayfusion.exe in the list again and click on options and choose 'Power Saving' as the method. Why: The lag is the firmware switching over to the discrete GPU every time anything graphic related (like changing wallpaper, with or without transitions, or themeing) and since the Intel UHD is MORE than sufficient for that task, switching the app (DF in this case) that is changing the wallpaper to the default video method will stop this lag. This whole 'Graphics Settings' hijack occurred at the end of 1803 where windows assumed controls over Optimus and the nVidia control panel no longer was doing the job. This is depsite the NV control panel doing a MUCH better job of switching. Double Edged Sword: If you run your laptop in high performance mode with discrete GPU turned on all the time , this fix won't work. You'll still get lag, even if you change displayfusion.exe to use the High Performance option. I don't know if this has anything to do with DF itself, perhaps it favors display adapter 0? Is this something that maybe can be added as a setting, if that is the case? Update I had to add all of the DF executables to the Graphics Settings and put them to Power saving mode, because depending on where I made the wallpaper change, there would still be a much tinier lag spike like if done from the DF settings page instead. Also, Everything was great until I turned the Aero color change back on. With Aero color change (to match current wallapaper) turned on, there are 3 separate, tinier lag spikes with smooth sailing inbetween. This is going to drive me to drink... more. |
Good find, thanks for sharing that info! DisplayFusion doesn't have any code to choose or prefer a specific display adapter. My guess is that when the wallpaper changes with transitions enabled, DWM is forcing it to use the discrete card. If you disable the 'Use transitions when changing' option in the DisplayFusion Wallpaper > Wallpaper Settings window, does that make any difference? The Aero Colour thing is an issue with Chrome and Aero Colour Changes causing the hooks to get flooded with repaint messages. It's on our list to see if we can fix up from our end, but leaving Aero Colour Changes disabled for now is definitely the best way to go there. | |
Douglas Hoogland | Disabling auto color based resolved this for me. This started for me after upgrading to Windows 10 1903. Disabling transitions made no difference. |
Berzerker | This is happening to me as well (1903 release version). It's a Windows bug when changing the color of the elements at all. Even if I manually do it, I experience these three, distinct lag spikes. Looks like I'm turning the feature completely off for now, but I don't think it has anything to do with wallpapers. Hopefully the November Windows 10 patches will address this issue. |

Hi. I just built new pc, not a week old, and this is my first time using W10. I see this issue was solved and I am having it, so can anyone tell me where I go to fix it? How do I disable the color changer? Thanks Update. I think I found it. I was looking in the DF setting. It was in my personlize setting. If that's incorrect, please let me know. If I don't hear from anyone, I know I'm good. | |
Kirk Jones | THANK YOU ALL! I don't know exactly when this started happening but I actually re-imaged my computer for this and then it started happening again. Then I just quit using DF for a while. I never made the connection to wallpaper changes because they are rarely actually visible. Disabling the automatic accent color in Windows Personalization (Right click Desktop -> Personalize -> Colors -> uncheck 'Automatically pick an accent color from my background') seems to have fixed this. With that on I could reproduce the issue by just loading next wallpaper. Display Fusion: There are several options to not change wallpaper when: Could we get an option maybe to change the wallpaper every time the screensaver / monitor blanking is activated instead of on a timer? I wouldn't care about the windows lag if the screen was blanked anyway. Maybe a couple minutes after so a tap to wake the screen wouldn't lag? Just ideas! I know it's a workaround to Microsoft's issues, not yours. I'm glad to have DF back! |

This article provides a solution to the issue in which the remote desktop connection stays in the connecting to status.
Original product version: Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2012 R2
Original KB number: 2915774
Original KB number: 2915774
Symptoms
Assume a scenario in which you use a remote desktop connection for operating system Windows 7 or later versions. In this scenario, Remote desktop connection is stuck for several seconds when it displays the following texts:
Remote Desktop Connection
Connecting to:
Securing remote connection...
Connecting to:
Securing remote connection...
Cause
Remote desktop connection uses the highest possible security level encryption method between the source and destination.
In Windows 7 or later versions, the remote desktop connection uses the SSL (TLS 1.0) Protocol and the encryption is Certificate-based.
It means the authentication is performed by using self-signed certificates (default), or a certificate issued by a certification authority installed on the remote session host server (Terminal Server).
If you use a self-signed certificate, the system tries to retrieve the trusted certification authority list from the Internet to check the publish and revocation status of the certificate. Therefore, the Securing remote connection screen may appear for a while.
Workaround
