[Issues with Terminal Server Sessions and Effects]

Paint.NET is designed to use all available CPU power when running an effect.

 

Are you saying that several students are logging into 1 server, and all are running effects at the same time? And that that's when you get reports of it running slowly?

 

Is there not a setting you can do to prevent that?

 

We have 6 Terminal Servers for the Students. In one day we have around 180-210 Logged in Users. Not all are using Paint.NET but if one does there might be another one using Excel for example and their session becomes stuck for a while. Maybe a Ressource Manager Program? Sadly the Windows Server 2012 R2 doesn't have that Feature anymore.

The test was made in a session on the RDP Server but using the local machine leads to the same problem.

Hello.

We are getting issues with the Paint.NET program using on Terminal Servers.

We're a school and some classes use that Program to teach their Students how to use it.

Sometimes we're getting a mail, saying that the Program is very slow.

We have searched a while for that issue and figured out, that every time you start an Effect on the program, our 6 Servers jump up to 100% CPU.

Our Servers are powerful, that's not the issue. They are running on Windows Server 2012 R2.

Imagine that now in classes with about 20 Students!

I've attached an Image showing the CPU Usage using the Motion Effect "Blur" on only 1 User!

 

Maybe someone has a solution for that problem?

 

Thanks.
