Change desktop remote protocol from registry

One of the factors that affects the speed and how it communicates in the Windows desktop remote service is its communication protocol. This article will teach you how to Change desktop remote protocol from registry. By default, if the network connection is outside an organization, Windows communicates via UDP  to speed up and execute commands more quickly. But this increase in speed will affect some services on the desktop remote. For example, if you watch a video or listen to an audio file via a desktop remote, the connection, sound, or image will be interrupted, the only way to fix that is to connect to the TCP protocol.

How to change desktop remote protocol from registry

You can make settings via the Windows registry so that the desktop remote only communicates with the TCP protocol so that you do not have any possible problems. In this article, we are going to teach you how to change the remote desktop protocol from the registry.

Note that the remote desktop connection via TCP will require a very good internet speed, and if there is no proper communication speed, the connection will not be of the required quality and you will be with certainty.

This tutorial is only available from Windows Server 2012 onwards.

0: If you enter zero, the desktop remote will use both TCP and UDP protocols.

1: If you enter the number one, the desktop remote service will only use the TCP protocol.

2: If you enter the number two, the Windows desktop remote service will use both TCP and UDP protocols in the connection.

After entering the desired value and clicking OK, exit this page and reboot your Windows once.
