Win 7 Pro 64 bits


Using Remote Desktop Connection to connect the Server

Server Screen resolution set to 1366 * 768

As It is on Network Pc in Remote Desktop Connection Screen resolution set to 1366 * 768

BUT

When Run Program.Exe through RDC fonts vision on Screen is not okay some are blur some are bold and in Print Preview same problem

Especially Label controls are bold and blur

Textbox controls showing text bold which are not bold

Check in Win 7 , Win 10 both have same problem when Program Run through RDC on Network

 
Hm, something like that I only see on rather slow internet connections on customer side. In such cases, color depth for RDP sessions is reduced to 8 bit (256 colors) and even 4 bit (16 colors). The 8 bit version often works with optimized color palettes but with 4 bit it really becomes disturbing and flurry in a way that you cannot read labels anymore, Bitmaps become unrecognizable as the are converted to grid colors.

As you mention, that RDP is LAN only, check the server restrictions for color depth.
The server setup might be taken from the last server or even from a time, when your LAN was 10MBit. I know many admins working like that. You've heard of "Never change a running system" ;) and sometimes they also give the answer that low color = fast network. Well, that is correct, but not worth messuring anymore with GBit networks all over the place.

If there are no restrictions on the server, you'll have to check your own RDP constellation. There you can change color depth too.
