Hi We're struggling with this also. We're running RHV 4.3 in our development environment and have found that he latest client tools in conjunction with v0.19 of the Windows 10 driver <https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/qxl-wddm-dod/qxl-wddm-dod-0.19/> has made a big difference to performance. Additionally, we have /etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d/20-overload.properties with: os.windows_10.devices.display.vramMultiplier.value = 8 os.windows_10x64.devices.display.vramMultiplier.value = 8
This new driver isn't perfect though and we've found that various things stop working after a couple of days. These include screen auto resizing and also the mouse/keyboard gets captured when the screen auto resize stops working. Our clients are typically dual screen, each at 2560x1440. We're going live with a new environment in about 4 months which will include 140+ VDI Windows 10 VMs so we're very keen to get this sorted.
