OpenGl 3.3 and Remote Desktop
G'day ... I use remote desktop when I'm at home and just want to sit at my lounge with my (ageing) laptop and want the speed and power of the desktop. With the Jupiter update I received the OpenGl 3.3 message (plenty of other posts about that one so I'll leave that alone) and after some messing around (hour or so) discovered that it wasn't the host machine rather remote desktop itself, the host machine is at OpenGl 4.4 but when I check the version via RDP (remote Desktop) it reports as 1.1.
Not holding my breath for Microsoft to address this any time soon (it affects any applications that want to use GPU features from what I understand) the simplest work around for me was to go to RealVNC which renders the remote screen differently than remote desktop does.
Hope this helps ...

NB. the personal use version is free but you have to register to get it to work

Please try to fix it by updating the graphics drivers. You can do it here

G'day Julia - Sorry this wasn't a bug report with Luminar .. rather a work around for windows and Luminar.
Below are how opengl is reported on the host when logged into the host machine via remote desktop and how it's reported on the host machine itself.
Export tiff times on the remote machine (laptop) are @2mins 45 secs, when compared to the host machine @20secs.
Anyhow will get a new laptop one day and this will all be water under the bridge ... love love love the product .. can't wait to see whats around the corner ..
Cheers

This is not an issue of skylum or luminar.
You are using a remote connection and windows uses a generic display driver to render and transmit the display image to the remote machine.
As it is displayed in the info you provided, that driver only supports opengl version 1.1.
I am not sure if there is a way to update the driver of the remote connection or other program that does remote connection and uses the local display driver of your laptop or something like that.
Another way to connect to your desktop display is via wifi using intel widi under windows 10.
You can get displayed the desktop computer in your laptop (using windows 10 project display via wifi widi).
But both computers have to support widi (your wifi chip must support it in the desktop). I guess you can buy an adapter for your desktop, may be you need a receiver in your laptop.
It is a much better way than remote connection when you use graphics intensive programs in your desktop.
