Slow Startup of RDM

Tested with several other users and they are all reporting that once the setting is applied it becomes much quicker loading!

The first startup is very slow. Startups after that, when modules are in memory, are much faster.

Asking users to change different kind of settings just to try to make your application perform better, is a big sign that something is really wrong with your application.

It's the UI Framework you're using.

RD Tabs is fast. Microsoft Desktop Manager is fast. A RDP application shouldn't have to be slow.

I'm moving on.

It takes 26 seconds before the screens starts appearing (no splash screen to show you that something is happening). After 33 seconds the application is ready to use.

Other RDP apps like RD Tabs and Microsoft Remote Desktop (WinUI) are starting almost instantly.

I already tried the suggestions in the docs, without any real improvement, but to be honest I don't think a user should have to do that. From my experience, the problem lies in the UI toolkit you're using.

RDM still has super slow startup and also perfoms slow when open. I'm using a i7 wirh 32GG RAM. Also on other PC's it's slow.

The problem isn't with .NET, as you mentioned early in this thread. Imho the problem lies in using DevExpress for your UI. I've used DevExpress myself for my own projects and experienced also slow performance, so I dumbed it. I'm now using Telerik, which performs better.

It's nice to have a good looking UI, but not when it hurts the user. Why not using WinUI? It looks good and performs ok.

Hi Marc,

thanks for reaching us,

Can you check if those settings are the same go to File>Devolutions Account.

Let us know if it works.

Best regards,

Hi,

I don't have these options.

Every time I start RDM, the Cloud Backup is logged off and thus I have to do the login (+ 2FA authentication) again.

If I close RDM and then start it again it is logged off again.

Is this normal?
