Hi @alfredo_c,
I see..
Can you please try the suggestions from this link:
https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/fix-touchscreen-windows-10/

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @alfredo_c,
Just for clarification, is your touchscreen problem on spacedesk viewer screen?
OR is it the actual touchscreen functionality problem of your laptop (even without spacedesk connected)?

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @toslim33,
Thank you very much for sending the diagnostic logs.

Upon checking the logs, it seems that it did not capture the disconnect issue.
Did you switch ON the diagnostics collection and wait for the disconnect issue to happen before switching OFF?
If not, please try again with the steps below:
– if Debug View is not available, please click the download button first
– switch Diagnostic Collection ON
– connect your viewer app and wait for the disconnect issue
– switch Diagnostic Collection OFF
– click Save All Information button

As for the ShadowPlay detection in the console app, you can properly switch off the ShadowPlay by switching OFF the In-game overlay settings in the Nvidia Geforce Experience settings.
If this is not possible anymore, please check your task manager if you can find the NVIDIA ShadowPlay Helper in the process list and try to “End task” it (then maybe reboot your machine).

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @alfredo_c,
Thanks for the logs.
Upon checking the logs, it seems that spacedesk is already recognizing the touch input from your viewer app so it should already work.
Are you maybe sending a touchscreen input to a particular desktop application e.g. Photoshop or any 3D games (e.g. MS Flight Simulator)?

Hi @dagni,
Can you tell us which old version of spacedesk did you use that can remember the wallpaper settings of your second display?

Based on our testing this is only possible if you set a Disconnect delay time (in seconds) via spacedesk Driver Console and reconnect the viewer before the disconnect delay timeout.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @wulf,
Thank you very much for sending the diagnostic logs.

Upon checking the logs, we cannot find any indications that could cause a display off/black screen issue on spacedesk server.
Could you please check/verify the following:
1. Please check your display settings window if you can find a detached second display while viewer is showing display off.
2. Are you connecting over the wifi network? Is the connection fast/stable/reliable?
Maybe the network is slow and causes a delay in the transmission of screen update over the wireless network and you just have to wait for a while for the viewer to show the screen update?
3. Maybe something in your AMD Radeon software settings. Can you please check in your Radeon Software settings -> Preferences -> In-game overlay, if it’s disabled? OR maybe check the other Graphics settings.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @omega087,

Can you further describe the problem?
Viewer cannot discover? Did you get an error code upon connect?
For assistance, please also check the Troubleshooting chapter in the user manual.

If the troubleshooting did not help, please open the spacedesk Driver Console in your primary machine, click Diagnostics -> Save All Information.

Hi @wulf,
Please try this modified version of the script here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lrreareb96quvnr/2022_spacedeskDiagnosticTool_v2.zip?dl=0
Same instructions above, this time the script should create “spacedeskDiagnostics” folder.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @jamesson,
Thank you very much for sending the diagnostic logs and a short video of the issue.
It seems that the issue is somewhere in the settings of your Photoshop, since spacedesk can already receive the Pen input properly with another app.

Please check if the Pen Pressure is configured on your Photoshop brush settings.

There are some workarounds that you can try, please check the Troubleshooting -> Network Connection -> VPN (Virtual Private Network) chapter in the user manual https://forum.spacedesk.netuser-manual/#item_493.

If it did not help, then there’s nothing else we can do but to disable your VPN for spacedesk discovery to work.

Hi @leungzw,

spacedesk automatically configures the Windows Firewall to allow spacedeskService during installation, you can verify it via Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Defender Firewall\Allowed apps.

Maybe you can also try to manually create an Inbound/Outbound rules in the Firewall settings for spacedeskService.
spacedesk uses TCP port 28252.

By the way, what is the current network profile on your primary machine? Public or Private?
Are both WiFi network on primary machine and cellphone have the same network band/frequency (e.g. 2.4GHz or 5Ghz)?

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @leungzw,
Thank you very much for sending the diagnostic logs.
Could you please check your (Router1’s) WiFi router’s network isolation if it’s active/enabled.
This setting prevents direct communication between connected devices. The only solution for this is re-configuring the router.

Hi @wulf,

Thank you very much for sending the requested logs.

For the spacedesk Console app issue, we will release a potential fix for this issue in the next version.

For the display off issue, could you please download the spacedesk diagnostic script here, then extract it.

Hi @armada45

Thank you very much for sending the diagnostic logs.
Based on the logs, you have splashtop display hook driver (lci_proxywddm) running on your machine. This product is currently not compatible with spacedesk.
You have to uninstall it, then reboot before you connect a spacedesk viewer.

To uninstall, just open the splahstop Wired XDisplay Agent on your machine the click on Advanced, then Uninstall the Virtual display driver.
OR just open the spacedesk Drive Console -> Diagnostics -> Incompatible Software, then click the Uninstall button beside the lci_proxywddm driver, then reboot your primary machine.

Hi @elfik,
Thank you for sending the video, and for verifying that you are using a virtual machine as primary machine.
spacedesk do not officially support virtual machines. You can install it there, but we cannot guarantee that it will work properly.

This is a known behavior of mouse pointer in virtual machines when there’s a second display connected.
We are actually not sure if this is a spacedesk issue or a limitation in virtual machines.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @elfik,
Are you maybe using virtual machine as your primary machine?
Yes, please also send the video, it will be very helpful for analyzing the issue. Thanks!

Hi @elfik,

Could you please open the display settings window on your primary machine and check the position of your second display and if you are moving the mouse pointer in the right direction.

Hi @kokko,
Routers can cause lags and latency. Bypassing them always improves performance.
Configure Windows 11 PC or iOS device as WiFi Access Point (Hotspot) and connect to it before connecting spacedesk.
USB Tethering achieves the same result.

Hi @mikhal980,

Thank you very much for sending the requested logs.
Based on the logs, there’s a RPC_S_CALL_FAILED error (The remote procedure call failed) during spacedesk USB driver installation.

One of the causes of this issue:
– failed installation/uninstallation of software that may have left invalid entries in your system
– improper system shutdown due to power failure

Could you please try the following suggestions below:
1. Run services.msc then find Remote Procedure Call (RPC), and check if it’s running.
2. Make sure to install any pending Windows Update on your Windows Settings.
3. Your AMD graphics driver is not digitally signed, please try to repair/reinstall your AMD graphics driver. Just download the AMD Auto-detect tool here: https://www.amd.com/en/support, to update your AMD graphics driver properly.
4. Run Command Prompt as Administrator, then type the command: “sfc /scannow” and press Enter.
