Not sure why that would happen.

I've used Opus over remote desktop for years on a mixture of Windows versions and never had that problem.

It's possible a shell extension or some other 3rd party component is causing the problem. The [general slowdown or instability investigation steps](https://resource.dopus.com/t/general-slowdown-or-instability-investigation-steps/4618/1) may help isolate the cause.
