Windows though... if a Windows session starts locally and a program is started at that time, i.e. Plex Server then it will utilise the GPU. But if you login via remote desktop and start Plex, then this is considered a remote session and the GPU is actually disabled for programs that you start under that session.

This is what I vaguely remembered. I want to stick a machine (Windows) in a cupboard under the stairs and use RDP through a lightweight laptop for CPU/GPU intensive things but that sounds a bit annoying.

Did you try this? Looks like it may resolve the issue.

I tried a few things, none worked. There are options that apparently do work on Windows Server or Professional, but I have Windows Home installed.

I've got a spare retail W10 Pro key if you want to try upgrading. It's not a reinstall needed, just a reboot. Consider it a forum donation :D
