Why Is ProSeries Running Slow on Remote Desktop?
Understanding the root cause helps you apply the right fix the first time.
1. Weak Internet Connection
Remote desktop depends entirely on a stable, high-speed internet connection. Even minor packet loss causes visible lag, cursor freezes, and screen tearing in ProSeries.
2. Outdated Remote Desktop Client
An old version of the Remote Desktop Connection app on Windows 10 or Windows 11 can conflict with hosted server settings and slow the entire session.
3. Right Networks Server Load
When many users connect simultaneously — especially during tax season — Right Networks servers experience high demand. Checking the RightWorks status page helps confirm if this is the issue.
4. Wrong Display and Color Settings
High color depth and large screen resolution over a remote desktop connection consume excessive bandwidth, causing ProSeries to feel unresponsive.
5. Local Hardware Limitations
RAM under 8 GB, an aging CPU, or a spinning hard drive on your local machine can bottleneck remote sessions even when the server is performing well.
6. DNS and Network Configuration Issues
Incorrect DNS settings or a congested office network creates packet delays that make ProSeries feel slow even when your internet speed appears normal.
Step-by-Step Solutions

- Open Remote Desktop Connection on your PC.
- Click Show Options before connecting.
- Go to the Display tab — set color depth to 16-bit.
- Reduce resolution to 1280x768 or lower.
- Under Experience tab, select LAN (10 Mbps or higher) and uncheck visual themes and wallpaper.

Fix 2 — Clear Local DNS Cache

Fix 5 — Reconnect During Off-Peak Hours
If the ProSeries server is busy, disconnect and reconnect between 6 AM and 9 AM or after 8 PM to avoid peak session loads.
