GDIObjectLeak- Host PC Freezing then Shutting Down
Quote from Overturned_Turtle on 20/01/2026, 10:42Been using SpaceDesk daily for nearly a year, connecting two pcs to have a second, mobile monitor. Have had very few issues since. Updated to 2.214, then started having frequent disconnections and freezes on the client pc. The client just suddenly freezes, still displaying, but the mouse is frozen in place on the screen, yet is visible on the host monitor. Been dealing with it for weeks now. Restarting both PCs, clean installs, nothing helps.
Then yesterday, experienced a full shutdown on the host. Ran a DxDiag and got the results in the picture below. Updated to 2.2.15, freezes less frequent, but still happening occasionally since yesterday. Then it shutdown again. Same result in DxDiag, and still says 2.2.14 in the diagnostic despite the program being updated to 2.2.15.
Attempting another clean set of installs, but in the meantime, is there any fix for this? It is driving me insane.
