enabled on the View desktop.
When desktop composition is enabled, individual windows no longer
draw directly to the screen or primary display device as they did in
previous versions of Microsoft Windows. Instead, drawing is redirected
to off-screen surfaces in video memory, which are then rendered into a
desktop image and presented on the display.
Determines whether RDP data is compressed. This setting is enabled by
