Thanks for the response. After initially disabling HW encoding, there was no difference but after several attempts it now works great again, no delays at all.
It had been unusable with constant noticeable delays, for example if I quickly ran my down mouse all options of a menu, the rendering would show my mouse slowly moving my mouse as each menu option is selected. I’m thinking there was a conflict but I don’t know what, since it did work fine before, when HW encoding was enabled then also. Anyway now it’s working again, now sure if due to the HW encoding option or what.
Also, @Britgirl I saw you had responded to an earlier post a couple years ago about a feature for remapping cmd/option keys being completed. is this available now? https://forums.nomachine.com/topic/remap-option-and-command-keys Thanks!
