Remote Computer desktop.

collaboration users or all users.

3.1.2.6 Setting the Windows Sender process priority
This section discusses adjusting the process priority of the Windows Sender. The default process priority
of the Windows Sender is normal. In some cases, increasing the process priority of the Sender will
improve interactivity— for example, when the Windows scheduling algorithms does not give the RGS
Sender sufficient CPU time to maintain smooth interactivity. Networking performance can also
contribute to reduced interactivity.
The Windows Sender on some laptops has exhibited inconsistent performance. Increasing the Sender
priority to high usually improves interactivity in this case. This provides the Sender more frequent
access to the CPU, and improves the update frequency to the Receiver.
Process priority for the Sender is command line accessible for the Windows Sender. Four command-line
options are available:
●
-belownormal
●
-normal
●
-abovenormal
●
-high
Priorities low and realtime cannot be selected for the Windows Sender.
There are two ways to set the process priority of the Windows Sender:
●
Use regedit to modify the rgsender service start up parameters in the Windows Registry. (see the
regedit instructions in the
Sender command line options on Windows on page 57 section)
●
Use HP Performance Tuning Framework (PTF) to configure Windows Sender priority (available
only on HP Workstations)
