Hi Britgirl:  Listed below is what I did (at least the top of the settings)….per your advice.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t change anything.  I’m testing this by standing next to the remote host with a connection device.  When I connect and the remote monitor is on, I have perfect fluidity.  When I turn the monitor off, I get almost zero responsiveness. As a matter of fact, I would say that I actually get less responsiveness with the new addition of “displayserverextraoptions” than before.

Thoughts?  Thank you!

Thanks, Britgirl.

When I said: “regardless of what I use to connect to it”, you said: “So it’s something affecting every remote access tool you choose 🙂 not just NoMachine?” Sorry for the confusion. What I meant was that when I connect to the remote windows machine, the speed problem doesn’t change regardless of whether I attempt to connect via a PC laptop, a Mac laptop, an iOS tablet, or another PC desktop.  I was trying to say that the device I was using to connect to the remote machine didn’t change performance. The only thing that changed performance was when I had someone turn on the remote monitor.

For your fixes, maybe I’m doing something wrong. I apologize in advance for my ignorance  If I simply add your first suggestion without a “#”, like this to the configuration file…

# Configuration file format version.
#
ConfigFileVersion 4.0
DisplayServerExtraOptions “-displayrequired”

Then I cannot connect to my device.  It connects but continually drops, reconnects, drops, reconnects, etc.  So I’m obviously doing something wrong.  If I put a “#” in front of it, it makes no difference.  I can literally sit here in front of the remote machine on a local network with perfect connectivity.  But the second I turn off the remote monitor, I lose all visualization.
