Cloud desktops were fine a few years ago in Windows 7 times when the desktop was 2D and was remoted as GDI instructions. Windows 10 made everything 3D, so now not having a GPU assigned to a virtual machine means everything is first rendered into a bitmap and then sent over wire as a movie. This causes additional delay, JPEG-like artifacts and instability.
