# Configure RemoteFX for the RDP WebClient

By default, Windows does not enable RemoteFX to ensure backward compatibility. However, for optimal performance when using a WebClient RDP, it is recommended that you enable RemoteFX on the server machines that allow it.

To enable RemoteFX on a remote machine, a number of options must be enabled.

Here is the procedure to follow on the remote machine:

1. Launch the Windows run command <kbd>Windows</kbd>+<kbd>R</kbd>, and run `gpedit.msc`.

3. Enable ***Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment\Enable RemoteFX encoding for RemoteFX clients designed for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1***.
4. Enable ***Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment\Limit maximum color depth***.
5. Restart the remote machine.
