Hi @xude,

Have you done any user account switching or remote desktop connection before using spacedesk?

Could you please run services.msc on your primary machine, find spacedeskService then right-click restart it.
Then try to connect again with spacedesk viewer.
If problem still persist, please send us the following for further analysis:

- run dxdiag.exe on primary machine, click "Save All Information" then save the output file (dxdiag.txt)
- all *.etl files on C:\Users\Public\spacedesk_logs folder

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

Looking forward to your feedback.

Hi @kdspeaks,

If it shows "Dispay OFF" on your side, please check the display settings window on your primary machine if you can find a detached display. If it's there, please just attach it by selecting Extend or Duplicate (there's a multiple displays dropdown menu box below).

Hi @stoubar,

To further analyze the problem could you please download the 2020_spacedeskDiagnosticTool.zip file here then extract it.

Inside you will find spacedeskDiagnosticTool.cmd, just right-click it then run as administrator.
This script will start a debug view app to capture spacedesk debug traces.
On step 5 it will prompt you to reproduce the issue(just connect the viewer app with black screen/display off status), make sure to do this before pressing any key to continue.
After the script is done, a folder will be created on the same folder as the script file which contains various log files that we need for analysis.
Please right-click it -> Send to -> Compressed (zipped) folder, then attach the *.zip file on your next reply.
Looking forward to your feedback.

Hi @stoubar,
The script includes restarting the spacedeskService that's why the spacedesk SERVER window will suddenly close, but you should be able to open it again upon Step 5, when the script prompt you to reproduce the issue.
Attach option should be visible below the text editor after your second post.
