Windows 10 Colors Messed Up
I seriously need to minimize the 'eye candy' traffic overhead and only leave the graphics quality enough to actually manage the server. I've like to switch to 16 or 256 color mode if possible but the lowest color depth offered by the client settings is 15-bit High Color. Is this possible to overcome?
- To change the title bar colors in Windows 10, you can use the built-in colors by changing the High Contrast Settings without editing the registry. Here are the steps: Click Start, and then click Settings. Click Ease of Access, and then click High contrast. Choose a theme.
- So I have had windows 10 on the computer for a while now.(ca. 1.5 years) About a week ago all the colors and backgrounds was messed up on only my dads user. Then now it happend on my user too. I do not know what is causing the problem or how to fix it, so thats why I ask here.
Windows 10 laptop screen messed up after sleeping. After closing lid windows somehow 'wakes up' to current state, with opened windows and running programs and without any troubles. But GTX 1050 also became unavailable after that. I rolled back and now confused: what are possible actions to locate a reason of this problem? Why is Windows.
The problem is that the app I need to configure on the server side is a stupid surveillance dashboard and it always displays 9 real time video streams all the time it is open (though I only need to adjust its settings) giving a pure zen training experience.

I have found the answer myself, so sharing it for further reference of whoever may need it.
The solution is to open the .rdp file (%USERPROFILE%DocumentsDefault.rdp by default) and edit (or add if missing) the following line:
The number (8 in this case) sets the color resolution in bits per pixel. 8 (for 256 colors) is the lowest value available through manual editing (while the lowest value available through the RDC GUI is 15).
Other .rdp file commands can be found here.
PS: I am also glad to mention that my practical problem (unintentional but unavoidable video streaming jamming the whole RDP channel) is solved completely! The thing works lightning-fast now. So the idea to lower the color depth was right what I needed.

Go the the Experience tab in the RDP client and set the connection speed to: Modem (56kbps).
joeqwertyjoeqwertyNot with a modern version of the MicroSoft Terminal Services Client, no. The best you can do is head over to the Experience tab and select Modem (56 Kbps), which should be more than sufficient. (Note the Persistent bitmap caching option).
Of course, as this is rated for a 56 Kbps connection, I'd advise that if you need something less bandwidth intensive, your primary focus should be on upgrading your network capacity, because 56 Kbps hasn't been a normal amount of network bandwidth for a couple decades now.
