Everyday Nerd

I regularly remote administer servers, most of which are Windows Server 2003 R2.  I starting having an issue a few weeks ago when connecting to certain servers that the mouse response was extremely slow.  The keyboard function was fine.  I had a quick fix - every time I click the mouse, I would press the Ctrl key, which seemed to speed it up, but was extremely annoying.

Now I have found a fix!

Open a Command prompt as Administrator, and enter this command:

netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

If you want to to re-enable it:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

This immediately fixed the issue - no more slow RDP sessions!  Now, back to work…
