You can optimize Windows for either foreground programs or background services by setting performance options. By default, Horizon 8 disables certain performance options for RDS hosts for all supported versions of Windows Server.

The five performance options that are disabled by Horizon 8 correspond to four Horizon 8 settings in the registry. The following table shows the Horizon 8 settings and their default registry values. The registry values are all located in the registry subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Omnissa\Horizon\Agent\Configuration. You can re-enable the performance options by setting one or more of the Horizon 8 registry values to false.
