I am running TigerVNC as a service on Windows 10. When I access this from a VNC client on another machine, the screen redraws are extremely slow. Is this a known issue?

Yes, it appears to be specific to service mode.  Try running in user mode and see if that helps.

Yes, user mode is responsive. Can service mode be fixed?

Looking forward to a fix for this myself, as I need access before user logins.

Hopefully. But we don't have any developer working on WinVNC. :/

You can also try switching to polling mode. That seems to work better
when in service mode.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
