The latest Nvidia driver 616.56 causes the screen to go blank

#1 · 27/08/2026, 21:55

Hello,
after updating the NVIDIA driver to the latest version 616.56 (RTX 5070), the SpaceDesk driver on my Lenovo tablet running Android 10 displays the message “Connected – display off”. After reverting to the previous version (610.88), everything works correctly. Is it the NVIDIA driver’s fault? Or is there something I can adjust in SpaceDesk?

Unfortunately, the pinned post does not solve the problem.

I’ve got exactly the same issue with Connected-Display Off warning on the viewer screen after Nvidia Driver update to 616.56 (I’ve also an Nvidia Geforce RTX 5070 Ti)
SpaceDesk Driver on an PC with Windows 11 64 bit (version 2.2.31)
SpaceDesk Viewer on an Laptop with Windows 10 32 bit (version Beta III v0.9.48)
After reverting to the previous Nvidia version (610.88), everything works also correctly.

The only option that works is to revert to the previous version of Nvidia 610.88
