Another annoying factor is WIn10 auto-update feature. I find it checking from updates at the most annoying times. Even if I set it not too.

Plus, if you have cloud storage enabled, it too performs activities behind the scene.

Both of these eat into the bandwidth if you are on a remote desktop.

>>I remember seeing this thread but cannot find it now - I remote into a PC at my client's office to do their work and it has been on a Win 7 pc for years. We just moved it to a Win 10 pc and it is slow as cold molasses...I had their IT guy check that it is still getting 1Gb through their switch and he said yes.

>>Is VFP inherently slow on Win 10? And if so, did anyone find anything to speed it up? Not being there to test it, it is hard for me to know if it is something in the vpn etc that might be causing it also.
