Description

The usage of RemoteFX would decrease latency by a lot, especially in a localhost environment. Though when I tried using /rfx flag for xfreerdp3, it crashed the installer. If I tried adding the flag after it installed however, It will work on regular windows rdp shortcut, but not with applications.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the /rfx behavior with xfreerdp3, first during installation and then with applications launched through WinApps. Trace the installer and application-launch paths involved; done means enabling /rfx no longer crashes installation and works for integrated applications as well as regular Windows RDP shortcuts.
