Whenever I access my Windows 7 (Professional, 64-bit) desktop through a VNC client (TightVNC on laptop or VNC Viewer on iPhone), Windows pops up the "Windows has detected your computer's performance is slow" message in the notification area. This is fine and easy enough to dismiss, but it's rather annoying having to change the theme back from Windows Basic every time I log in remotely.
The computer is very well maintained (defragged, anti-spyware, up to date, not pirated, etc.), plenty fast, and is only being detected as slow because it's being accessed by a VNC client. I've checked the memory and CPU usage while logged in remotely and it's completely normal.
Is there any way to disable this notification or (more preferably) not have Windows automatically change the theme? I appreciate the notification, but the computer is running fine Mr. Clippy ;)
What happens if you run the Windows Experience Index while connected via VNC? Which VNC server are you using? Any particular reason you're using VNC instead of an RDP client? – Bacon Bits – 2011-04-10T02:17:29.473
Haven't tried running WEI while connected, will try it. I'm using TightVNC and the only reason I'm not using RDP is because I frequently access it via iPhone and have not found a suitable RDP client for it. – John Marzetti – 2011-04-26T02:50:01.603
Same windows experience index whether using VNC or not – John Marzetti – 2011-04-26T03:00:05.400
