Determines whether the XPS Rasterization Service or the XPS-to-GDI conversion (XGC) is forced to use a software rasterizer instead of a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) to rasterize pages.
On machines with an ARM processor, this policy setting is ignored by the XPS Rasterization Service and the XPS-to-GDI conversion (XGC).
This setting may improve the performance of the XPS Rasterization Service or the XPS-to-GDI conversion (XGC) on machines that have a relatively powerful CPU as compared to the machine's GPU.
Fix:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Printers!Always rasterize content to be printed using a software rasterizer
(2) REG: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers!ForceSoftwareRasterization
