I have a Hyper-V vm running on a machine with 8GB of RAM and 2 virtual processors allocated to it. I am using RDP to connect to the VM and when I watch videos or do anything that is heavy in the browser, my CPU spikes and the experience is not good. Are there some optimizations I can do on the VM host or guest or RDP connection to make the experience better? I have tried all common browsers and the experience is the same.

You need RemoteFX. You've not said what version of Windows your host and guest are, but a Google search will tell you the requirements for using it. – I say Reinstate Monica – 2018-01-24T13:29:53.497
Sorry both host and guess are a Windows 10 Pro. I have remotefx configured on the guest as well. – Isaac Levin – 2018-01-24T13:32:42.920
Yes and I am RDPing from another machine on the local network – Isaac Levin – 2018-01-24T13:39:20.107
Oops, I meant to ask if the machine you're connecting from is also the Hyper-V host, but you answered that now. – I say Reinstate Monica – 2018-01-24T13:41:29.453
Yea it is weird. It must be a resource allocation thing or what I am trying to do is laggy as expected. – Isaac Levin – 2018-01-24T13:47:01.440
Do both systems support RemoteFX and meet the requirements? (I don't remember the requirements off the top of my head.) – I say Reinstate Monica – 2018-01-24T13:51:37.287
I would assume so, both are 2k+ laptops with 1060s in them. Went to confirm and they seem to support it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RemoteFX
