I frequently work from a long distance over VPN with a not-great internet connection. I use Remote Desktop to log onto the Windows Server 2012.
Every time I want to log in I wait for the log in window to appear. After it appears, the big user icons slowly slide to the left before settling in one spot. It takes about 10 seconds with the remote window updating multiple times before I can finally click the user button to log in. Then to double the pain the password screen does the exact same thing. Sliding, updating agonizingly slowly.
What can be done to speed the process? How do I turn off the sliding behavior?

@cdavid I actually found a workaround. I realized I could save the login credentials with the RDP file and it no longer asks for a login after connecting. – D_Bester – 2014-11-07T03:56:01.827
That works as well :) – cdavid – 2014-11-07T08:36:07.210
