Performance

Go to File – Settings – Performance to control the behavior of the application with respect to performance.

OPTION	DESCRIPTION
Hardware acceleration	Select in the drop-down list how Remote Desktop Manager will handle hardware acceleration: Default (Automatic): Graphics rendering is completely left to the operating system. Disabled (GDI+): Hardware acceleration is forced disabled. DirectX: Hardware acceleration is forced enabled. The graphics rendering is performed by the graphics card. Performance is sped up in some cases, which is often required for high resolutions. This setting does not need to be modified unless there are UI performance issues.
Optimize UI Performance	Optimize the user interface for better performances.
Session list refresh	Set the refresh delay for the opened connection tree.

Optimize UI Performance

Optimize the user interface for better performances.

Session list refresh

Set the refresh delay for the opened connection tree.

OPTION	DESCRIPTION
Enable AngleEgl rendering mode	Use ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) with EGL to translate OpenGL ES API calls into hardware-supported APIs like Vulkan, Desktop GL, or Direct3D 9/11.
Enable direct composition mode	Use Windows DirectComposition for faster, hardware-accelerated UI rendering.
Enable redirection surface composition mode	Render offscreen first to prevent tearing and glitches.
Enable software rendering mode	Force UI rendering using the CPU instead of the GPU.
Enable WinUI composition mode	Leverage modern Windows UI features for smoother transitions and animations.

OPTION	DESCRIPTION
Show custom images	Enable the loading of custom images in the tree view. Note that too many custom images could dramatically increase the size of the workspace and load time.
Show favicon cache	Enable the favicon cache to store favicons locally, avoiding fetching them from the web on every load. Disabling this feature is not recommended for performance reasons.
Enable gravatars	Enable Gravatar images to display profile pictures associated with user accounts throughout the application.
Show user gravatar	Display the Gravatar profile image associated with the current user.
