Identified Causes

4 causas
#1

Unstable Home Internet Connection

90%

A weak or intermittent home internet connection is a primary culprit for unstable Remote Desktop sessions. This can manifest as packet loss or low bandwidth, leading to disconnections and lag.

#2

Work Network/Server Issues

60%

Problems with the work network infrastructure, such as overloaded servers, firewall restrictions, or VPN instability, can also cause Remote Desktop issues. This is less likely to be user-fixable but important to consider.

#3

Remote Desktop Client or Server Configuration

40%

Outdated Remote Desktop client software, incorrect client settings, or misconfigurations on the work computer can lead to performance problems. This includes issues with graphics settings or network protocols.

#4

Firewall or Antivirus Interference

30%

Aggressive firewall settings on either your home network or your work computer, or overzealous antivirus software, can sometimes interfere with Remote Desktop traffic, causing disconnections.
