Ok. I'm hoping there are others here with actual experience in running VMs that may have insight. Looking for a second or third opinion here

Steam Home Streaming can do many things. Run a Windows 10 Hyper-V machine is not one of them. Much less 2 or 3 at the same time ?

Sure. But the remote system has no issues at all. It has a 1080 to help, if need be. I'm connected to it more or less directly, with just 1 switch between us running 1Gbps. The issue doesn't lie there - it's solely on client side.

Well. What doesn't make sense to me is; I can run that very same VM I'm currently testing locally, and have NO issue at all. But connecting to it remotely causes my entire system to being suffering from sluggish/slow UI, noticeable delays in window dragging and so on. More or less the EXACT opposite of what I was trying to achieve ?

Hoping someone here can help, since every Google I've thrown at this thinks my problem is something else. On my home network, I've repurposed my old PC as a Hyper-V server. I figured I might as well put that CPU and memory to good use, as I often run 2-3 Virtual Machines and my laptop resources were stretched thin. HOWEVER. When I connect to a Hyper-V machine on this new "server" now - I hit a different bottleneck. For some reason, Windows on my laptop uses the onboard GPU to drive the session - not my Geforce card. It's a dual GPU Dell laptop. So just connecting to this remote VM is now causing my system to stress. When I ran the very same VM locally, I never had any issue. Please note; this is NOT about getting RemoteFX to work or anything similar - this is where Google takes me whenever I try and search for this problem. It is strictly about getting my connection to the remote Hyper-V server to NOT use my underpowered onboard card, but instead the NVidia card. Any insights? :-)
