What action should be performed after identifying a high value for Average Encoding Time in Azure Virtual Desktop?

When facing a high Average Encoding Time in Azure Virtual Desktop, decreasing graphical settings is a logical action to take. High encoding times often indicate that the system is struggling to process graphic data efficiently, which can result from demanding graphical settings. By reducing graphical settings, you can lower the workload on the encoding process, allowing the system to encode frames more quickly and efficiently.

This adjustment can improve the overall performance and user experience as it reduces the strain on the server’s resources. Lower graphical settings mean that less data needs to be processed and compressed, which translates to a reduction in encoding time, thereby enhancing streaming performance and potentially resolving latency issues for end users.

In contrast, while adjusting network resources or increasing server capacity may seem beneficial, they do not directly address the root cause of high encoding times associated with graphical data processing. Monitoring user sessions can provide valuable insights but won't alleviate the immediate performance issues tied to encoding times. Therefore, modifying graphical settings directly targets the problem.
