Yeah, dealing with Chrome Remote Desktop running slow can be a real headache. If @chasseurdetoiles’ awesome tips didn’t fully sort you out, maybe consider these additional thoughts:
-
Network Traffic Prioritization: Check if your network prioritizes certain types of traffic over others. Some routers have Quality of Service (QoS) settings that can be tweaked to prioritize remote desktop traffic.
-
Proxy or VPN: Are you using a proxy or VPN to connect to your work network? These can sometimes add extra lag. Ensure that any VPNs are optimized or try a direct connection if possible.
-
Antivirus Software: Overzealous antivirus software can interfere with Chrome Remote Desktop. Temporarily disable it to see if it makes a difference (but be careful and ensure your network is secure if you do).
-
Browser Extensions: Sometimes, unnecessary browser extensions can cause issues. Disable any non-essential extensions and see if your performance improves.
-
Alternative Software: Okay, seriously, Chrome Remote Desktop isn’t the only tool in the box. I’ve heard good things about HelpWire - might be worth a shot if nothing else works.
IMO, there’s no silver bullet here; you might need to try a few different things. Best of luck debugging!
