Connected – Display Off issue
Quote from Kenneth on 27/08/2026, 17:26Everything worked like a charm, until I decided to turn off HDR in my main displays, now Spacedesk iPad screen won’t activate. In the Windows display settings, it’s there but I cannot extend or duplicate another display, it will just stay “Disconnect this display”. The strange thing is that if I set my main display to anything other than 240Hz, when I try to activate spacedesk display, Windows would change my main display back to 240Hz if I choose “Keep change”, but nothing happens to spacedesk display.
Tried uninstall/reinstall, remove windows display settings… etc. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
