GPU-P and Windows 21H2 host and VM
You mentioned you wanted people to contact you about support on Windows 10 with Easy-GPU-P.
I'm having a number of issues, it seems generally virtualisation with 3d acceleration works ok (have so far only tested out 3d acceleration from a website called shadertoy.com, assuming it's using Chrome with DirectX) but OpenGL seems to be an issue - trying to run Blender 3.0 inside a VM, get this error -
Could this be because I'm not using a dummy dongle (Shadertoy seems to work without it), I don't have any spare HDMI sockets in my GPU (A single Nvidia 3080 ti), however because I'm dual-monitored, it appears to work without.
What I'm trying to get working is a setup where I can run Parsec client on the VM host computer with the GPU, to connect into a VM with Blender and Unity installed - that way I won't clutter up the host system with these programs.
I'm having terrible issues with the Parsec client running on the host computer with a VM configured with Easy-GPU-P - In certain circumstances, any video mode changes in host or client results in a weird issue whereby Parsec will not Quit when asked to from the tray icon, or even worse, it'll jam up the host display entirely if I kill it, or change anything - when this happens, for all intents and purposes it appears like the host computer has frozen, except it hasn't (music still plays, email notifications still chime), but the display is locked solid, not even Ctrl-Alt-Del does anything. Only a full reset will return to normality.
What's peculiar though, is that it appears that 3d acceleration works straight out of the VM Connect program it seems, which I didn't think is possible, is this a viable option instead of using Parsec to stream the content back to the client?
It would be good to know if Blender runs either on a Win11 VM on a win10 host, or both Win11 host and VM with this solution thru Parsec, if so I'll consider using that OS, or generally if stability is improved on that OS.
Haven't tried installing Unity yet, prob not a good idea at this stage.
Thanks
I have the same issue that after quitting Parsec (though it also happened one time after using the normal RDP connection iirc) my PC freezes up. I was watching a YouTube video and that was playing for until it the YouTube video buffer was empty and after that only my mouse cursor was moving.
In my case I am currently using a Windows 10 21H2 host with an Windows 11 VM. Maybe that causes the issue?
I have this issue on Windows 11 Host aswell, OpenGL just wont work. Other applications seem to run fine, i dont have a hdmi dongle but it is seemingly working fine?
Just a small update regarding the whole PC freezing up: It's still happening to me sometimes when quitting Parsec on the host. What works for me to unfreeze is to physically turn my primary monitor (which is connected via DP) off and back on. Also I don't get these freezes when using Parsec through my browser (web.parsec.app), though I can't use H.265 encoding that way and the delay seems bigger (I guess it has to transmit via internet?)
Is it windows 10 being the host that breaks open gl games, or is it the fact that it inst supported yet by this project along with vulcan, cause in a linus tech tips video they played cs go. While I am unable to play cs along with minecraft.

I have a Win10 21H2 host (and Win11 VM) as well (RTX 3090) and initally I didn't face the freezing issue (for a couple of days of use). Today (without changing anything - manually at least) I couldn't connect to the VM with the Parsec display, so I was stuck on the low standard resolution. I tried restarting the VM multiple times with the secondary display cable (acting like the proposed dummy display cable) unplugged and plugged again, as well as updating the VM display drivers (even though there were already in sync with the host). To no avail. Restarting the host PC finally solved it, so all resolutions and framerates are possible again. But now every time I'm the last to disconnect from the VM (with Parsec on the host as client) the host monitor freezes. Turning on and off my display unfreezes it. Not sure whats causing this behaviour and why I didn't have it until now? Is it still happening to you @carrierfry ?
I too sometimes experience the host display freezing, except for the mouse, when exiting Parsec. While I don't have a solution, I do have a quick way to recover from this. If you press Win + Ctrl + Shift + B, it will reset your GPU driver and shortly after the monitor will unfreeze.
OpenGL seems to be an issue
I found a really dumb workaround for this part, see https://github.com/jamesstringerparsec/Easy-GPU-PV/issues/132#issuecomment-1086900106
