Connected – Display OFF

I have the same problem as many others. Spacedesk connects, but on the ipad it says Connected – display OFF Here is my zip-file. I also tried to disable the integrated graphics driver, no luck there (on or off)

I rolled back Nvidia and now it works prefectly again. Thank you for your swift and dedicated work.

I can now confirm that the SpaceDesk driver (2.2.31) only works for me if I do not have the latest NVIDIA Studio Driver 616.56 installed. Because of this, I am currently using version 610.88.

My setup includes a dedicated RTX 5070 Ti GPU with three monitors connected. I use the SpaceDesk driver to connect an Android tablet as a fourth monitor. I should also mention that I have DisplayFusion Pro 12.1.1 installed.

Regarding the suggested steps (specifically checking the Display Settings):

When I install the NVIDIA Studio Driver 616.56, the spacedesk screen is indeed visible in the Display Settings, but I cannot activate it. The system won’t let me set it to “Extend” or “Duplicate”.

However, with driver 610.88, I can extend or duplicate the displays perfectly fine.

Did the solution given in the pinned post help you?

“1. After updating your GPU, restart your PC as there might be a pending reboot after the update.
2. On the spacedesk Driver Console, click on “Clear Windows Display Settings”
3. Connect your viewer to your Primary Machine
4. Check in the Display Settings if the spacedesk Viewer screen is visible.
5. If the Viewer screen is in the Display Settings, please click on it and set to either Extend or Duplicate”

Excuse me for using a translator. With driver version 616.64, it’s working perfectly again for me.
