ezhik Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I got a windows 10 VM which I access over RDP using xfreerdp (and remmina) from a linux system. The odd thing is - every time I move the mouse around within the RDP session the CPU spikes significantly. Has anybody encountered this before? Seems pretty odd. # VM CONFIG # WIN10 VM IDLE # WIN10 VM Moving the mouse around in circles Quote Link to comment
Jerky_san Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Have you installed the native display driver instead of the one windows throws in? Quote Link to comment

By knowing what process is spiking you can focus on what could cause that. Also have you tried simply remote desktoping to it without the linux intermediary to see if it spikes the cpu?

You would think this would be something trivial and obvious right? I have two key VMs, one is server 2012 r2 and another is windows 10 and BOTH are experiencing the same issue with mouse movement. I've connected to the VMs over mstsc (RDP) from a windows box and the same behaviour has occurred. Anybody else experiencing this type of issue?
