Symptoms
After launching RDS published application or connecting to a VDI, the Client side CPU is too high.
Also, DX11 is initialized as observed in the Client side vmware-mks-xxxx.log:
2022-05-17T06:57:15.976Z| main| W003: VIEWWINCLIENT: DX11 Device initialized.
Resolution
Using DX11 may cause CPU spikes. This is dependent on the customer environment.
Disabling DX11 may resolve this issue.
However no registry or GPO to disable it.
You can use Workaround.
Workaround
Edit the following .ini file. If it does not exist, create it.
%APPDATA%\Roaming\VMware\config.ini and set
viewClient.enableD3D11=FALSE
This has no negative impact on the use of RDS published application or VDI.
