Lag when using Windows App (AVD) on MacBook Pro M1

Looking for some advice in relation to the Windows App (AVD) which I have downloaded from the App Store.

I have a base 14" MacBook Pro M1. I work for Local Government (Scotland, UK) and to access work systems on my own device, I need to use the Windows App. My MacBook has all necessary updates and is running the newest version of Tahoe.


As it is used for work purposes, there is a lot of restrictions in terms of changes I can make within the desktop client. However, I find that there is a lag when using the Windows App. The lag is primarily when typing and a genuine slowness that isn't there when using my MacBook.


AI suggests that a lot of the lag could be as a result of display settings.


I am wondering if anyone has any similar experiences and is able to offer some advice on the best settings they have found?


Thanks

MacBook Pro (M1 Pro, 2021)
