With USB on, getting second black screen on top

[Dmanz56]

I’ve been using Spacedesk for well over a year with on and off success. But since using the USB On option the connection has been much more stable until a recent update which now places a second screen on top of the proper Extended screen. In other words as soon as I connect my tablet, my display shows the proper screen but only for a fraction of a second and then another screen jumps on top of it and it is black, with nothing but the menu button shown.

Hi @Dmanz56,

Does the issue happen when you plug a USB cable between your Android device and primary PC while your Android device viewer is connected over the network? 
if yes, a black screen when connecting via USB on top of a network-connected Android viewer is a known issue and will be fixed soon. 
For the meantime, please make sure not to establish a network connection using the viewer app before plugging/connecting via USB.

Such an easy fix. Thank you Christian, I’ve disabled the wifi on my tablet and so far it’s working great.
