I have created a google compute engine (GCE) VM, and regardless of the OS selected (Windows Server 2012, 2016, etc.) there is no virtual display driver that is installed.

I don't know if this is by design, or a consequence of the hyper-visor they are using, but some applications seem to require a display driver to bind to in order to load or connect. One example is Teamviewer, VNC, or Chrome Remote Desktop for remote access. It just displays a blank screen on the client side.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue, and whether there is a driver that can be installed by the user to resolve this.

  • Accoring to the link here [Quickstart Using a Windows VM ](cloud.google.com/compute/docs/quickstart-windows) you should be able to connect using RDP.

    GPU features are in the road map for 2017. Ideally you would access your VM via RDP but if you need to install a non-native access some options like Radmin and LogmeIn are mentioned here
