Hi,
I’m connecting a W10 PC to another W10 PC, and can’t get the WiFi direct (over mobile hotspot) connection to work. The 192… IP for the WiFi direct adapter shows up green and normal in the viewer, but when clicked, the screen on the viewer goes black with “Connecting to 192..etc” for about a second or two, then it returns to the setup screen. I have an android tablet that *does* work fine connected to the same WiFi direct / mobile hotspot connection on the driver PC, with all the same spacedesk settings on driver PC.
* I’m using the latest driver and viewer installed on each respective machine. Both machines with latest W10.
* Connection works normally over the shared WiFi network. This problem is only when trying to WiFi direct to hotspot.
* Viewer PC functions normally using the mobile hotspot connection (e.g., full internet access).
* spacedesk is listed as firewall exception on both machines.
* I’ve checked through switching all the settings I could think of. I’ve done restarts, and tried, for example, starting the spacedesk apps only after making the hotspot connection.
Anyone else have this experience? Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated – thanks.
After updating I can not connect to the monitor on the client gives a black screen and the inscription “Connected-Display OFF” and after about 20 seconds there is a notice of disconnection “Disconected by server”
As of 23.01.2022 I have the latest drivers installed on both devices and the latest versions of spacedesk
When trying to connect to the server through the android app the same “Connected-Display OFF” error appears
Rebooting, rolling back drivers and program versions didn’t help, rolling back to the system checkpoint didn’t help either
While I was writing the text above, the server was no longer displayed on the client
Thank you very much for the nice feedback – we are always very glad when our software is appreciated!
Can you attach a picture or a short video of your digital animated aquarium?
We could possibly put it onto our spacedesk facebook page…
(idk how to add topics, hope this posts ok)
I didn’t see a contact page to write an email or anything, so I guess this’ll have to do.
I’ve been using Spacedesk for about three years, and I’m so thankful for it.
Roughly three years ago I found an old Amazon tablet, Fire HD 7 (I think) that had been thrown out, the charging port had was pushed in and off-set a bit.
I took it home and was able to fix the port enough for consistent charging and boom. Though I quickly found the old Fire couldn’t really run any of my apps or games. Then it dawned on me to use it as extra monitor for my rig, and after some searching, I found Spacedesk.
After the quick downloads and setup I stuck it up on the wall next to my PC, threw an animated aquarium wallpaper on that bad boy, and called it a day. My digital aquarium rocks. It works for videos and small stuff, but it’s pretty much just for aesthetics.
I’m so glad I found Spacedesk. I’ve even noticed I still get updates for the app! I realized it’ll be a bad day in Baltimore when it stops working. I’d love a link to donate or something. Thanks for such easy display app!
Cheers all!

Please open spacedesk Driver Console
-> Go to “DIAGNOSTICS” (no need to switch anything ON or OFF).
-> Click button “Save all information”.
-> Use file explorer to compress (zip) folder.
-> Attach and send the *.zip file.
I uninstalled Splashtop Wired XDisplay’s Agent but still I can’t install Spacedesk driver. It gives me those errors.
Thank you very much for this input. We had a first look. Indeed it appears as if spacedesk could possibly do this, too. We will work on it next week. If possible, we will release a new version of spacedesk Viewer for Android supporting mouse passthrough.
hi. i connected 2 computers with ethernet cable (point to point) and i configured a new spearated network. when i try to transfer a file from the Pc A (where there is SpaceDesk Server) to Pc B (SpaceDesk Client), the transfer speed is about 106 MB/s (not Mb/s) but when i use Spacedesk, on the topbar of the window, i read 40 Mb/s and it creates lag.
I connected Pc A and Pc B with ethernet to get the maximum network speed and to avoid lag using an High quality image streaming.
How can i tell spaceDesk to use the real speed of the network to stream my desktop?
Careful! Let us not confuse things:
We did NOT discontinue resolution auto detection in spacedesk Windows Viewer.
Both spacedesk Viewers for Windows (Win10 Microsoft store and Win8.1 native) DO support automatic recognition of native Viewer device resolution.
Just make sure you understand the settings menu in both spacedesk Windows Viewers (it works the same way):
Up to two resolutuions can simultaneously be specified:
– Native resolution
– Other custom resolution
If you specify both resolutions, then Windows on the Primary Machine selects one of them
(you can still change the selection on Primary Machine Windows Display Control Panel)
If you specify only one resolution, then Windows on the Primary Machine has to use this one.
If you specify only the native resolution, then only the native resolution can be used.
Hi @greenbar,
Thank you very much for sending the debugview log file.
Based on the log file, it seems like the spacedesk Graphics Adapter driver was not installed correctly.
For further analysis, could you please send us the complete diagnostic information via spacedesk Driver Console app.
Please follow the steps below:
– switch Diagnostic ON
– connect the viewer app and reproduce the issue
– switch Diagnostic OFF
– click “Save All Information”
PS: Please make sure that Diagnostic mode is OFF before saving all the information then send us the whole folder which contains all the diagnostic logs collected.
Please right-click the folder -> Send to -> Compressed (zipped) folder, then attach the *.zip file on your next reply.
Please update to newest version on BOTH spacedesk Primary Machine on Windows 11/10/8.1 AND spacedesk Viewer device (Secondary Machine) on Android, iOS or Windows.
Hi @awm,
Thank you very much for sending the diagnostic information.
1. Please make sure BOTH sides are updated to new versions:
spacedesk Driver v1.0.31 On Windows 10 ( https://forum.spacedesk.net )
spacedesk Viewer v0.9.92 on Android (update from Google Play Store).
2. If the above doesn’t help, please update your AMD Radeon R6 graphics driver to newest version.
You can download the latest graphics driver installer from their website https://www.amd.com/en/support.
3. If it still does not work, please send diagnostic information again.
Attention: The diagnostic information which you sent before was incomplete. Did you switch diagnostic mode to OFF before saving to file? Please make sure that a file named DebugView.log is present and included in the logfiles.
Mouse input should work fine with spacedesk Viewer for Windows. Which spacedesk Viewer are you talking about? Android? This is not trivial since Android is a touch operating system which doesn not seem to natively supply the mouse events needed for this.
Password protection and encryption support will become available soon. In the meantime you can use spacedesk Driver Console to see every present connection and every previous connection. Nobody can connect without being noticed. To temporarily prevent anyone from connecting, spacedesk Driver Console can switch OFF the whole spacedesk Server.
Yes, this is possible. spacedesk Server and spacedesk Viewer for Windows (spacedesk Client) can be installed on the same Windows machine. This way spacedesk can connect in both directions.
I am sorry to say so, but this version does not auto-detect screen resolution as the previous ones, which is a big turndown for me and makes it almost impossible for me to use it …
Any plan to fix that maybe?
What I mean by auto-detect resolution.
When I run the client and maximize it in the previous – windows store version it automatically -when put fullscreen – detects the resolution of the screen, the one from https://forum.spacedesk.net#download – does not do this, or I have not found this anywhere reasonable. And yes, I was using MS store version 0.0.0.23.0.
The version 0.9.37 Beta – The Resolutions dropdown menu is very unintuitive, as it looks like it is grayed out, I thought it is not usable for some reason, and only found out that it is there when I looked into the manual.
Any reason why you discontinued auto detection? Sry, but in this state, It is not usable for me enough to continue using it in this version, to try and reproduce the issue. Rolled back to 0.23 from store.
It seems that touch DOES work on spacedesk Viewer for Windows 10 (from Microsoft store).
However it seems to be very difficult to activate the functionality.
Please try the steps below:
-> Tap once to activate the green menu bar at the top of the screen.
-> While the green menu bar is shown, do a three-finger-tap gesture
-> This should bring up the dialog to enter touch mode
Please let us know if this works for you.
In the meantime we will consider to rework this user interface sequence and/or update the documentation.

Please right-click the folder -> Send to -> Compressed (zipped) folder, then attach the *.zip file on your next reply.
I got this working by adding inbound rules for Spacedesk to Malwarebytes Firewall Control. For some reason it had only added outbound rules.
I tried doing this with the regular Windows Firewall, but for some reason, rules being added to regular Windows Firewall did not stay in the system, and were gone next time I checked, even if I wasn’t running the third party program. But adding the inbound rules in Malwarebytes worked.
Now I’m trying to increase performance of Spacedesk. USB tethering worked, but Mobile Hotspot doesn’t appear to work. The Hotspot IP shows up in Spacedesk console, and shows up if I do ipconfig in command prompt, but it cannot be detected from the Android tablet. (secondary device) It still won’t detect even after selecting “no filtering” on Malwarebytes Firewall, which appears to disable the Windows Firewall as well.
Any ideas of how I might go about getting Hotspot working?
Hi @xrarach,
Are you using the spacedesk Windows Viewer from Microsoft Store?
Could you please try with the most recent Windows 7 viewer v0.9.37 + latest spacedesk Driver v1.0.31 available on our website https://forum.spacedesk.net#download.

Hi @mysteryroach,
Thanks for the feedback.
Could you please try the following:
1. Ping the IP address of your laptop from your desktop and vice versa and check if they are reachable to each other.
2. Did you also try with your antivirus disabled?
We noticed that you have Avira antivirus, can you quickly try with Avira disabled?

By the way about this:
Seems there’s a new version of Spacedesk now so I upgraded to that, but it didn’t fix anything. I noticed that I couldn’t click on the alert at the top of the Spacedesk console informing me of the new version, as it gives me the error “Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessable”. So I had to manually go to the download page myself to download the new version.
This is probably a browser error. Maybe you can try the Method 2 on the link below to fix it.

Hi @brimston,
Could you please try with the latest spacedesk Driver v1.0.31 with Windows 7 viewer (desktop version) 0.9.37?
You can download it from the website https://forum.spacedesk.net#download.

The operating system I’m using for the primary machine (a laptop PC – specifically a Razor Blade 15 Base 2021 GTX3070 1080p144hz) is Windows 11 Home 64-bit version 21H2 build 22000.434 with Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.434.0. Secondary machine is a Samsung A7 tablet running the latest Android OS version 11. The viewer app I’m using is the Spacedesk Viewer Android app available in the Google Play store.
I have also tried using an Android smartphone (Samsung S8+) as the secondary machine. Is also updated to the latest Android version. (version 9) The phone also doesn’t seem to detect the laptop primary machine.
I also tried using my Desktop PC as the primary machine. Same OS + version + build as the laptop PC. The Desktop PC actually worked, with both the phone and the tablet as the secondary machine. So presumably the problem is isolated to the laptop and it’s ability to act as a primary machine – as the tablet/phone can detect the Desktop, but not the Laptop.
Anyway, attached to this reply is the diagnostic log.
Hi @delta,
spacedesk Windows 7 Primary Machine is not supported any more.
Windows 7 life cycle has expired. Microsoft do not support Windows 7 any more – nor can we.
The current spacedesk Driver for Windows 8.1 can still be installed on Windows 7.
It works on many Windows 7 machines and configurations.
On others it does not.
These cases, we cannot support neither fix any more.
Hi @labviewman,
you have to be connected over the internet to be able to download the spacedesk Windows Viewer app from Microsoft Store or the Windows 7 desktop version from the website https://forum.spacedesk.net#download.
Once you download and install spacedesk Viewer and Server/Driver, internet connection will not be needed anymore.
Just make sure that your primary and secondary machine are connected on the same local area network.

Hi @mysteryroach,
For further analysis, could you please run spacedesk Driver Console window on your primary machine (just click the spacedesk tray icon on the task bar) then click Diagnostics -> Save All Information button then send us all the diagnostic logs.
PS: Saving all information will take a few seconds, then please send us the whole folder which contains all the diagnostic logs collected.
Please right-click the folder -> Send to -> Compressed (zipped) folder, then attach the *.zip file on your next reply.
Please also tell us the info on you secondary machine.
What is the operating system?
Which spacedesk viewer app did you use? Android/iOS/Windows10/Windows7/HTML5?
I just installed spacedesk, and the secondary machine won’t detect the primary machine, even when using USB tethering.
Tried both auto detecting and manual IP entry. Both primary and secondary machines are connected to the same Wi-Fi. Third party firewall disabled, and Windows Firewall allows it through. I am using the latest graphics card driver. I am using the latest version of Spacedesk. Spacedesk is running and it is turned on. I’m not using a VPN. There doesn’t appear to be an isolation feature in my router menu. NVIDIA ShadowPlay isn’t running. I tried using Wi-Fi hotspot. (connecting to the hotspot IP) I tried connecting via web browser. And as mentioned, USB tethering doesn’t even appear to work.
Anyone got any ideas at what could be the problem?
By the way I used Spacedesk before on this PC and it worked quite well. The error happened when I tired to upload the software from 1018 to 1027. And later versions or the 1018 version cannot be installed from then on.
Hello guys
Here I encountered some trouble during installation. Sorry that my computer language is Chinese but I will try to make it clear.
Everything just went well until the pop-up window appeared as the screenshot shows. The characters ‘错误 安装失败’ mean ‘Error Installation failed’ or something like that. I clicked the ‘确定'(‘OK’) button, and the window said ‘Completed the spacedesk Windows DRIVER Setup Wizard’ but the software did not work properly. Some files you may need for analyzing have been uploaded. Or tell me what you further need me to do.
Thank you!
Hi,
I think it does run ARM. Is ARM support comming to space desk? It would save me lot of money 🙂
How can I download the Spacedesk viewer for a computer that is not connected to the Internet (i.e. not able to access the Microsoft Store?
No fix found as far as I am aware. I havent heard anything from Spacedesk since 2nd Jan
Hi @helik,
Is the laptop running Windows on ARM?
If the answer is yes, then spacedesk does not support it.
Hi @jesus-arias,
Please open the Device Manager of your primary machine.
Select View tab then Devices by connection.
Check if there are any spacedesk devices left particulary spacedesk virtual HID Device.
If there is, expand spacedesk virtual HID Device and uninstall its child devices first (right click -> Uninstall) then uninstall spacedesk virtual HID Device.
I am able to connect my Samsung S2 tablet to spacedesk. But there are only 2 resolution options to choose from: 2560×1600 (native) or 1024×768. I want to have a lower resolution, but the second one is 4:3. The screen looks horizontally stretched. Is it possible to have a 1280×800 resolution?
