Delphi 10.3 Rio on Windows Server 2008 R2

[Tallys 0]

I did the installation of Delphi 10.3 Rio on a Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine, the installation occurred correctly but I'm having interface problems. Several parts of the screen are not drawn correctly, being necessary to click with the mouse on the object inspector for it to be drawn, for example, etc.

The welcome page draws perfectly, but if i create a new VCL application some of the panels are not drawn, the process bds.exe keep consuming 20~25% CPU with a VCL Blank Application.

Can someone help me?

Windows Server 2008 R2 (aka Windows 7) support ceased earlier this year.  Windows Servers usually install very basic display drivers which is probably your problem.

I thought it could be that, We even made a modification in XenServer to use a better video device (changing from Cirrus to a Standard Driver with 16MB of video memory) but it remains the same.

Talking about a virtual environment, especially Xen; I'd give the how-to written by @Dalija Prasnikar a shot:

There were multiple reported painting issues solved by disabling theming of the IDE.

I'll give a try, thanks!
