cannot open spacedesk console

#1 · 20/01/2025, 03:57

I tried to install spacedesk for few times but despite my attempts i am unable to even open the application, but its open in taskbar manager, both spacedesk.exe and spacedesk notification, however there is no whatsover drivers availed in the folder of spacedesk

I dont posses any of those files in the file list i attempted to fix it many times by intalling older version but that problem pre exists, and yes i attempted to open spacedesk directly from the main folder

I have the console version, as is said besides my many attempt even that includes to reinstalling older version(that were working appropriately before i reinstalled windows 11, can problem be related to net,4.8 because i am experience it with many applications).

i am failed to find the file you desire . and i was victorious to fix the net desk error however spacedesk is still not working.

Hi @sumit,

this topic is separated from your the previous posts from Can’t install ver 2.1.33 as it is now unrelated to the topic title.

Are you not able to connect a spacedesk viewer? Please check the Troubleshooting chapter of our user manual.

Hi @sumit,

based on your setup logs, spacedesk is properly installed..

After installation, the following files should be present on your Windows machine:

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\spacedeskDriverAndroidControl.sys
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\spacedeskDriverBus.sys
C:\Program Files\datronicsoft\spacedesk\spacedeskService.exe (If Program Files is chosen as the directory during install)
C:\Program Files\datronicsoft\spacedesk\spacedeskServiceTray.exe
C:\Program Files\datronicsoft\spacedesk\spacedeskConsole.exe

As answered by my colleague in the other post, the remaining spacedesk driver files will only appear after a successful connection of a spacedesk Windows/Android/iOS viewer.

Questions:

Are the five files mentioned above missing?
As for the spacedesk Driver Console, is it still not opening after fixing the .NET issue?
Does your machine have the latest Windows updates?

Hi @sumit,

To further analyze the non-working spacedesk Driver Console, please follow the instructions below:

Download DebugView from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/debugview
Extract the folder.
Run DebugView as administrator (right click -> Run as administrator). Underneath the Capture tab, enable Capture Win32 and Capture Global Win32.
Open Windows Registry Editor (Win+R regedit or do a Windows search).
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\datronicsoft\spacedeskConsole.
Add or edit REG_DWORD DebugTraceEnabled to 1.
Open spacedesk Driver Console.
DebugView should show the traces. Save the traces to a text file and send it to us.

Hi @sumit,

thanks for sending the log file unfortunately, it did not contain any spacedesk Driver Console logs.

Could you please try again to get the logs (same Steps 1-6)? This time in Step 7, make sure that spacedesk Driver Console is not running – you can check this in Task Manager and end the task. After this, run spacedeskConsole.exe as administrator.

i reckon the problem to be existing inside my audio driver, unfortunately i can’t solve it despite my many attempts, so is there any way i can use usb cable opt without opening that console application, or is there any way to make it appropraite.
