Hi @abossart,
Initiating the spacedesk connection from the server side (Laptop to iPad) is currently not in our plans.
In any case, even if this feature is implemented in spacedesk, I don’t think it will help you with your current situation.
Probably, the outgoing connection from your Windows 11 laptop will also be detected and blocked by your company’s firewall.

How about establishing a Mobile Hotspot/WiFi Direct network in your Windows 11 laptop?
We cannot guarantee that it will help, but maybe you can quickly try.
Please check the chapter Use Wifi Direct / Wifi Hotspot / Wifi Access Point in the spacedesk documentation –
https://manual.spacedesk.net/UseWifiDirectWifiHotspotWifiAcce.html.

[spacedesk Lea]

I see.. Thanks for the additional information.
Currently, USB cable connection only works for Android and iOS devices.

Hi @tugalsan,
So the tablet device can still detect the primary machine even after uninstallation?
Have you tried re-opening the spacedesk android viewer app to refresh the server list?
Can you also quickly check if spacedeskService is still present and running in Windows services, just run “services.msc”.

If spacedesk is indeed still present even after uninstall, please send us the following for further analysis:
– run dxdiag.exe on your primary machine, click “Save all information” and send us the output file
– spacedeskSetup.log file located in C:\Users\Public
– setupapi.dev.log file located in C:\Windows\INF

Please save all requested files in one folder, then right-click -> Send to -> Compressed (zipped) folder, then attach the *.zip file in your next reply.

Hi @veteran62,
Thank you very much for sending the diagnostics info.
Could you please check in your Android device settings -> Developer’s option if USB debugging is enabled.
If it’s enabled, please disable it and try again with spacedesk Android USB connection.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @konsabertooth,

For further assistance please refer to the chapter Troubleshooting -> Network Connection in the spacedesk Documentation https://manual.spacedesk.net/NetworkConnection.html.

Hi @veteran62,

Remote keyboard input works in certain conditions:

1. If the connection is via USB cable, it should always work (LICENSED or FREE viewer app).

2. If the connection is via WiFi (Local Area Network), it will ONLY work with LICENSED Viewer app and with “Password Protection and Encryption” enabled in spacedesk Driver Console.

If keyboard input did not work with USB cable connection, please send us the diagnostic logs of the issue.
– open spacedesk Driver Console -> Diagnostics
– Make sure that DebugView is “Available”, otherwise download it via “Download” button
– Check “Diagnostic Collection”
– Connect the viewer app via USB cable and reproduce the keyboard input issue
– Uncheck “Diagnostic Collection”
– click “Save All Information” button (just click “No” on the dialog box to proceed)
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 in your next reply.

Hi @tugalsan,

1. The expiry info in the spacedesk Driver Console is only for the users with FREE VIEWER app.
With LICENSED VIEWER app, you don’t have to reinstall the driver on or before Dec. 31, 2024.

Additional Info:
When the driver expires on Dec. 31, 2024, the free viewer will show a black and white screen display.
But if you connect with a licensed viewer app, it will continue to work as before with colored screen display.

2. Please refer to the UNINSTALL ON WINDOWS PRIMARY MACHINE chapter in the spacedesk documentation for the proper way to uninstall spacedesk – https://manual.spacedesk.net/UNINSTALLONWINDOWSPRIMARYMACHINE.html

Hi @carton,

Have you already tried the suggestions in the Performance tuning chapter in the spacedesk documentation?
Link: https://manual.spacedesk.net/PERFORMANCETUNING.html

Bypassing network routers can improve the performance, this can be done by using direct ethernet cable connection (crossover) or using WiFi Direct/Hotspot.

Hi @ar_rs25,
Thank you very much for reporting this issue.
This seems to be a difficult and rare bug which possibly even resides in Windows itself.
We managed to reproduce this behaviour even with IddCx touch displays other than spacedesk.
It will definitely take a longer time to fix (if it can be fixed at all).
Could you give us some more hints?
How often does it occur on your side?
Do you have any steps how to reliably reproduce?

In the meantime, to get rid of the transparent boxes, all you can do is log-out then log-in again on your primary machine.

Hi @bigk64,
Thank you for sending the file.

Have you already checked the crashing (CH Product) driver that we mentioned?
It’s the driver for joysticks and other control devices. Maybe you can try to repair this driver or update it.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @bigk64,
Thank you very much for sending the requested files.

Based on the dump file you sent, no spacedesk driver is involved in the system crash.
The crash is caused by this driver – “chdrvr01.sys”.
It is a CH Products driver installed in your primary machine.
Please refer to the dump analysis file we attached to this reply.

To further analyze, please also send the setupapi.dev.log file located in C:\Windows\INF.
Please save it also in zipped folder.

Hi @dudw,
The non-commercial window pop-up is designed to remain visible in the taskbar unless you are using a viewer with a commercial license.
Minimizing it is the only thing to do, this behavior is expected for users who uses free versions or non-commercial viewers, and the only way to remove this window is by switching to a commercial-type viewer.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @gduquette,
A 4500×3000 display seems to be not working with the MS Store Viewer.
For now, please use the Windows 7 Viewer (Desktop version 0.9.44), 4500×3000 display should work there.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @glda19,
In the custom resolution list, it will only show the resolution not bigger than your device’s native screen resolution which is 2000×1200.

1280×780 seems to have the same aspect ratio as your device’s screen.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @gduquette
Can you please quickly try with smaller resolution and check if you get the same result.
In case you have Nvidia graphics adapter, please make sure you disable the Nvidia ShadowPlay/In-game overlay/screen recording before connecting the spacedesk viewer.

By the way, which spacedesk Windows Viewer did you use?
Microsoft Store version? Or Windows 7 Viewer (Desktop version 0.9.44)?

Hi @glda19,
Please make sure that the screen reoslution you selected has the same aspect ratio as your tablet screen to prevent black bands on the left and right side.
In the spacedesk Android Viewer -> Settings -> Resolutions -> Choose Custom Resolution, please choose the resolution that matches your device’s aspect ratio – the one with (*) mark.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @right,
Thank you very much for sending the requested info.
For further analysis, could you also please send us a DebugView logs of your secondary machine/laptop?
Just follow the steps below:
– download DebugView app here: https://download.sysinternals.com/files/DebugView.zip
– extract the files from the zipped folder
– run the Dbgview.exe as Administrator
– make sure to only check the Capture -> Capture Win32 and Capture Events
– while DebugView is open, please run the spacedesk Windows 7 Viewer app and try to recreate the issue
– you should find some “SA [xxxx:xxxx] …” traces in the DebugView, please save the logs (as .txt file) and send it to us.

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @right,
Can you tell us more about the problem?
Is it the spacedesk Windows VIEWER app from Microsoft Store?
What is the operating system of your secondary machine?
For further analysis, can you maybe send us the dxdiag info of your secondary machine?
Just search and run dxdiag.exe then click “Save All Information” then send us the output file (dxdiag.txt).

Have you also tried the spacedesk VIEWER desktop version 0.9.43 (for Windows 7)?
If not, please try it.

Hi @jerriv4,
Thank you for this information.
We were able to reproduce it on our side. We are currently analyzing it..
Are you using a USB 3.0 Hub? If yes, is it plugged to the USB 3.0 port of your laptop?

So far this is our observation: We have a USB 3.0 Hub and when it’s plugged to a USB 2.0 port of our PC, it did NOT work, it’s only charging the Android device. Then when we plugged the USB 3.0 Hub to USB 3.0 port of the PC, spacedesk USB cable connection worked.

Ok. Maybe you can also check the game’s settings related to display or graphics and try a different configuration.

Hi @talakazamadsa,

Thank you very much for sending the requested logs.

However the .dmp files collected were outdated, it’s not the corresponding dump file for the most recent PC crash.
Can you quickly check if there’s a recent *.dmp file found in “C:\Windows\minidump” folder and in “C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\WDF” folder. Just check the most recent one with timestamp today.

In the meantime, please try to update your NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti display adapter.
You can download the latest version from their website https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
Or via Nvidia GeForce Experience app.

By the way, does the PC crash only happens when spacedesk is connected and only if this specific game is running?

So it also happens even with simple unplug-plug of your HDMI monitor, even without spacedesk involved, correct?
I think your Windows PC cannot detect the HDMI monitor’s speaker immediately once you unplug and replug it.

When it happens, can you please try to open your Device Manager (just run “devmgmt.msc”), click the computer name in the tree view, then click the Action tab -> Scan for hardware changes then check if it can now detect the HDMI monitor speaker device in the Windows Sound Settings.

Hi @flashgor,

Any news with the troubleshooting steps? Did it help?

If not, can you quickly try to connect via spacedesk HTML5 Viewer in your iPad?
Just open a web browser (e.g. Safari or Google Chrome), then go to http://viewer.spacedesk.net/ and connect to the IP address of your primary machine.
Then let us know the result.

By the way, Is your iPad from Mainland China?

[spacedesk Lea]

Hi @flashgor,

Please ignore the info message, it’s only an initial info message for the users every time they open the viewer app.
You can just click the “Don’t show again” if it annoys you.

The actual problem here is that the viewer cannot discover your primary machine.
Please check first on your iPad Settings -> Privacy -> Local Network, if spacedesk is on the list and enabled?
For further assistance, please refer to the chapter Troubleshooting -> Network Connection in the user manual https://forum.spacedesk.netuser-manual/#item_489.
