     - Option 2: Update the video drivers. Recent (~2020) video driver updates may have included support for RDP OpenGL acceleration. In the past only workstation level graphics cards (e.g.: NVIDIA Quadro) supported OpenGL over RDP, but now other graphics cards (e.g.: NVIDIA GeForce) have been updated to also support this.     - Option 2: Update the video drivers.
