Hi,
Thank you for the reports. We're aware of this issue following the 2026.2.. update, and our team is actively investigating. We'll post an update here as soon as we have more to share.
We appreciate your patience.
Best regards,

Hello,
We believe this is most likely linked to an issue RDM has on terminal server environments. We will have a fix for this in the upcoming RDM 2026.2.9.0.
Please do let us know if the issue persists after updating to that version.

Hi
We have the same issue on our terminal server CPU 25% per user using RDM. after updating the version to 2026.2.9.0 the issue still persists :(
They all have their own database with sql-lite.
It has been recreated for a few; did not help.

The fix doesn't work. The behavior is exactly the same in version 26.2.9. There were no issues up to version 26.1.23. An RDP connection results in about 5% GPU load—even with a single connection to a server without a Terminal Server environment. Each additional RDP connection adds another 5% at peak.
Hello @bramsoethof
This thread is specifically about GPU performance; your issue seems to be this one. Note that the thread I linked was opened for an older version of RDM, but we're currently tracking a regression in 2026.2.x in Terminal Services environments and the recent posts are about that. I encourage you to subscribe to that thread for updates.
Thanks and kind regards,

Hello @fritz
I just want to clarify a few things so we're not muddling issues.
You're running RDM on a client machine, and in the 2026.2.x release you see high GPU usage. Is it high at idle? Or it just steps up when opening RDP sessions?
Can you please share your precise OS version (winver) as well as the relevant details of your hardware? The specification and graphics information from Settings > System > About would be helpful.
Thanks and kind regards,

Hi,
We are experiencing the same issues. With version 2026.2.8 and also with version 2026.2.9.
Winver W11 25H2 26200.8655
The more Terminal sessions are open, the more GPU usage I have (Around 3% per session open).
GPU usage is there even when RDM is minimized or in the background with some sessions open.
