Was working fine till it seems Windows 10 did an update. Both of windows and the Nvidia Geforce GTX 1660 super driver.
Not it seems to connect but no screen output to it. Mouse doesn’t even go over to that screen.
Screen is connected wirelessly and has been for a year plus.

Hi @devildog8488,
Could you please open the Windows Display Settings on your primary machine then check for detached/greyed-out client. if there is, just attach it by selecting extend from the drop-down menu.
You can also refer to our CONFIGURATION AND SETTINGS
-> Windows Driver (Primary Machine) -> Desktop Extension or Desktop Duplication (mirror) Settings in Display Control Panel chapter in our manual –

Hello
There are no greyed out displays. When I type in the IP of the computer I can hear it beep to connect but no monitor comes up as number 3. When detecting no 3rd monitor is detected and when I ID monitors only two show up.
Not sure why all of a sudden it won’t appear.

So got another tablet. Different maker. Android one also.
D/l Spacedesk to it. Set it up. Says connected but no screen activation as 3rd monitor.

Hi @devildog8488,
Are you still using spacedesk v2.1.11?
We have released a new spacedesk v2.1.13 on the web. could you please try it?
Restarting your PC might also help.

[DevilDog8488]

Yes the update seems to have fixed it for whatever reason.
Thanks.
