Performance Issues After Updating to Version 2.2.12
Hello spacedesk support team,
I am writing to report significant performance issues I’ve been experiencing after updating the spacedesk driver software to version 2.2.12 on my Windows 10 system.
Before the update, I was using an earlier version of spacedesk and everything worked perfectly. I had no freezing, lag, or any connection issues. The connection via WiFi was stable and responsive, and I was able to use my Android device as a secondary display without any problems.
However, after updating to version 2.2.12, I started experiencing frequent freezing and stuttering. The display would freeze intermittently, making it impossible to use the extended screen smoothly. The performance degradation was severe enough that I had to uninstall the application entirely.
I attempted to downgrade to the previous version that worked well for me, but unfortunately, I was unable to find and download the older versions from the official website or other sources. The older driver versions appear to no longer be available for download.
I strongly believe that version 2.2.12 has a bug or compatibility issue that is causing these performance problems. The connection method (WiFi) and my system configuration have not changed – the only difference is the updated driver version.
Could you please:
Investigate the performance issues in version 2.2.12
Make previous stable versions available for download
Provide information about any known issues with the latest version
I would appreciate any assistance or guidance you can provide.
Thank you for your time and support.
Best regards
Hi @tass_co,
Older spacedesk Driver Package versions are neither maintained nor downloadable. We are a very small team. We have just enough resources to distribute and maintain the latest most recent version. Maintenance and bugfixes can only be done in the newest, most recent version.
For further analysis of the issue, please send us the logs of your Primary PC by opening the spacedesk Driver console as administrator and clicking on Diagnostics then follow the steps below:
1. Download the DebugView.
2. Check the Diagnostic Collection box.
3. Reproduce the issue e.g. by connecting the spacedesk Viewer app via Wifi.
4. Uncheck the Diagnostic Collection box.
5. Click “Save All Information” button (this might take a while to finish).
6. Compress/Zip the folder which contains the logs, then attach to your next reply to this post. If the folder exceeds 512kb, you may upload it to Dropbox or Google Drive then include the download link on your next reply.
Also, can you provide the specs of the viewer device you’re using?
Thank you.
Important clarification about the issue:
The stuttering/freezing occurs on the PRIMARY Windows PC side.
The problem starts as soon as the spacedesk driver is enabled / the spacedesk Driver Console is opened.
Even without any viewer device connected, Windows immediately begins to stutter
(mouse lag, window lag, short system freezes).
When one or both viewer devices are connected, the stuttering becomes more severe.
The issue affects the entire Windows system and is not limited to the spacedesk display output.
This behavior started immediately after updating to spacedesk Driver version v2.2.12.
Before v2.2.12, the spacedesk driver did not cause any system-wide performance issues.
Viewer Devices:
1) Xiaomi 12T Pro – Android 15 – Wi-Fi connection
2) Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8010) – Android 4.1.2 – Wi-Fi connection
Both devices are used simultaneously as secondary displays.

Hi @tass_co,
The same files that were missing in the last diagnostic logs are still missing from the current logs you sent. Please make sure that you open the spacedesk Driver Console as Administrator, and in the Diagnostics page, make sure that you have downloaded DebugView before following the steps I provided.
Can you also check if the stuttering issue is there when the spacedesk Driver is turned off from the Driver Console? If not, then while the Driver is turned on, open the Task Manager then check if there’s any application that’s using up a large amount of CPU, GPU, and/or memory.
I followed the exact sequence again:
– Stopped spacedesk completely and stopped its service
– Ran DebugView as Administrator with all Capture options enabled
– Opened spacedesk Driver Console as Administrator
– Enabled the driver and Diagnostic Collection
– Reproduced the system stuttering multiple times
– Disabled Diagnostic Collection and used “Save All Information”
I am attaching the newly generated full log folder.
Please let me know if any specific file is still missing.

Hi @tass_co,
The DebugView log is still missing from the log folder you sent. Do you have DebugView downloaded in your machine? The Download button for DebugView is below the Diagnostic Collection box. If it says “Available” beside “DebugView”, this means that it is installed. If it says “Unavailable”, then please download it using the Download button.
Also, please check this:

Thank you for the clarification.
I realized that DebugView was not properly installed via the Download button
in the Diagnostics section of the spacedesk Driver Console.
I have now downloaded DebugView using the provided Download button
(it now shows as “Available”), re-collected the diagnostics, and verified that
the DebugView log is included in the log folder.
I have attached the updated logs with all required files included.
Thank you for your patience.
