Multimonitor Performance Issue with Hyper-V Connections

I have a machine that I am connecting to a Hyper-v server with, that has 2 video cards and 6 monitors.

Upon connecting, the performance and rendering are excellent (approximately 30fps). However, over time, about 15-20 minutes, the rendering degrades to about 1-2 fps, as if the connection "hybernates" and isn't active anymore.

I have found that if I start to play a video and continually right-click in all 6 monitors of the guest VM connection to invoke rendering menus the connection "wakes up" again and the rendering returns to an excellent 30fps.

Additionally, if I constantly play a video in the guest VM the connection never "hybernates" and it is constantly excellent.

I have 5 VM instances on this Hyper-V and all of them experience this same issue.

I am wondering how I can fix my environment so that I do not have to constantly play a video and/or right-click my monitors to "wake up" the connection.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
