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.<br><br></div><div>Unfortunately I don't have a good solution for you if the developers who work from home are always working remotely.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Got a question. A number of our developers work from home. The way that they run our vtk application is by using VPN into our work network and then use a remote connection into their machines.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> The VTK application is using OpenGL2 and everybody is running Windows 10.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> The issue is that the VTK window crashes immediately on startup of the window. Is there some documentation about how we should be able to run a VTK application via remote desktop?<span class="m_-1628779452970801107m_224640997226428580HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><u></u><u></u></font></span></p><span class="m_-1628779452970801107m_224640997226428580HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
