<p class="MsoNormal">1) On windows 10 nvidia supports OpenGL 3.2 with remote desktop IF you have quadro cards. I do not believe they support it on regular consumer cards :-(<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) (I apologize for this one in advance) Some people have created small batch files that launch the application one minute later. So you remote desktop into the system. Fire off the batch file. Close the RD connection. The batch file starts
the application with local OpenGL which is accelerated. Then a minute later you RD back in and your app is running well.<u></u><u></u></p>

</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Windows 10 supports OpenGL 3.2 (which VTK's OpenGL2 backend uses) over remote desktop... but it depends how the user initially logs into the machine. If the initial login is over remote desktop, Windows decides
"you don't need any graphics resources" and doesn't initialize the graphics card. In this case, you get the behavior you describe where VTK crashes upon initialization. However, if you initially log in locally and leave the session up, logging in over remote
desktop gets the initialized graphics resources and VTK applications work fine.<u></u><u></u></p>
