Any updates to make it work? THanks.

Hi @serpa4,

You can try the following workarounds to see if any of them works for you.
Workaround 1:
1. Go to Settings > Quality/Performance
2. Click on Encoding Type, then select Software Encoding MJPEG (forced)

Workaround 2:
Use a USB 2.0 cable to connect.

Thanks, have tried those settings already and have 2 very high TB4 cables. I’ve also used the same cables for USB to desktop monitors before on the same computer. Just have not got computer to galaxy so 14.6″ tablet to work even with your drivers.

Hi @serpa4,

There’s a known issue with using spacedesk with Thunderbolt 4 cables so we suggest using older USB 2.0 cables if you have them.

Thank you. I tried several different brands of USB4/Thunderbolt cables and none worked. I tried my other lesser cables, usb-c and it works with several of them just fine.

Thanks for the fix, TB4 cables did not work.
