Last week, a customer of mine asked me to take a look at an issue where their in-house WPF application was not using hardware acceleration with NVIDIA GRID. The outcome of the troubleshooting gave me a lot of new insights and I was able to resolve and validate WPF related issues. First, let me give some background information involving the […]
My colleague Robin Geldolf and me have recently been experiencing a 404 “webpage not found” error, when connecting to the admin page, after upgrading your Horizon connection server.
