Don't use the stock Windows remote desktop app. Use some thing else. I remember it screwing up thing that made it impossible to use to remote into Windows crunchers.

I tried using Remote Desktop to access a Windows11 cruncher and it disabled the gpu on the target computer. What a waste of $200 for Win11 Pro.

I'll be migrating both Windows machines to Linux.

Did it knock the gpu's off-line permanently or only for the duration of the connection? Because Windows is notorious for knocking it off while the connection is active but then releasing the gpu when the remote connection is over.

The same thing happens in an environment where multiple people use the same pc, in Windows, and someone else logs in and the gpu gets knocked off-line.

I think that is the normal behavior. GPU computation disabled when remote connection is active in windows and then activates when disconnected. I have seen that the GPUs might take a "minute" to start computation again once the connection is broken.
