  1. YES, that helped! I also reinstalled DirectX (simply using dxwebsetup.exe) and the graphics look much smoother now. Also no more error messages about software rendering only. Thank you!!!
  2. Tried the RDP Manager from MS, but the VM graphics are just as slow. Still couldn't get a Linux to be installed in a VM, so I can't try that as a comparison. Anyway, thanks for the tips in this thread so far!
  3. I'm connecting via DSM for the initial setup, but once RDP is working, I always connect with RDP, which is more responsive. When you say 'change the graphics adapter', do you have a specific one in mind? Is it maybe feasible to install a driver that's for the original CPU-internal GPU? I suspected that this won't work, since DSM is the 'hardware'.
  4. I've tried to install Ubuntu and Kubuntu in a fresh DSM VM, but both install procedures stopped at the screen where the time zone needs to be selected - on both systems, I pressed 'continue' but the system did not do anything after. I also tried to import a VMWare machine of Ubuntu that was running perfectly fine in VMWare, but it didn't run in a DSM VM. Can you confirm that hardware acceleration is working in your DSM VM's?
  5. Hello, I've installed a DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 6 - DS918+ - on a bare metal server and it works perfectly with exception of an NVMe SDD. But there is a problem with VM Machines that I can't find a solution to: the graphics performance in Virtual Windows Machines is piss poor... The problem seems to be that there is no graphics acceleration whatsoever in Win7 or Win10 virtual machines. Tried some very basic games (e.g. a simple Tetris), and some are telling me that the graphics are relying on software only. Now I've already replaced the basic Microsoft drivers with up to date VirtIO driver (qxldod from virtio-win-0.1.141.iso), but there is no improvement. I've tried to freshly reinstall Win10 in the VM - no improvement. But in comparison, with a VMWare12 Virtual Win7 or Win10 Machine on a Win10 host on my desktop computer, the graphics performance is far better. Just to be clear, I don't expect to do 3D Shooters in a DSM VM. But when even some Internet pages show slow scrolling, there seems to be something wrong. Or do I have to migrate DSM to ESXi to solve that? There are no related parameters in the Virtual Machine Manager, as far as I recognized, but I hope I missed something. Here's some of my server hardware (which is even faster than my 6year old desktop(!), apart from the missing graphics card...). Motherboard: ASUS P11C-I (Mini-ITX) Chipset: Intel C242 CPU: Intel Core i3-8100 (Socket 1151v2) 4x 3.60GHz RAM: 2x 8GB G.Skill Aegis DDR4-2400 DIMM CL15 (running as DDR4-2100 according to BIOS) Integrated NIC: 2x Gb LAN (Intel I210-AT) I'd be very grateful for any useful insights, so thanks in advance!!!

I removed the NVMe SDD. Also, I still have an SATA-Port available, so I'll add another big SATA SDD soon. Also, I plan to get a PCIe LAN Card with 2x 10GBE (RJ-45), but am currently unsure which model would be working out-of-Jun's-box. MANY THANKS to JUN and all Forum Members, who's information helped me pinpoint the necessary hardware for my Server!!!
