The VDA is installed in Standard mode and it uses a specialized Citrix Driver for display remoting only. GPU sharing and application graphics acceleration is supported on the Windows Server 2012 and 2016 operating systems, with the same limitations as listed under the XenDesktop standard mode section above. Standard mode. Recommended for virtual desktops without GPU and RemotePC access. This is the default installation option in the VDA for Windows Desktop OS versions 7.6 to 7.15 LTSR and default operating mode with versions 7.16 and newer. This mode will install and use the Citrix Display Driver for rendering. Note that if a GPU is available, hardware acceleration for applications is still possible in standard mode with the following limitations: Windowed applications only, no full-screen application support. DirectX feature levels up to 9.3 with Windows 7. Some DirectX 10, 11, 12 applications may not run if they do not tolerate fallback to DirectX 9. DirectX 10, 11, and 12 with Windows 10 only.
