Spacedesk no longer connecting with USB. No issues Connecting with Wifi
Quote from Jack on 17/06/2026, 21:04As the subject states, the USB connection no longer works. It was working fine one day and then, suddenly today, it doesn’t work at all.
I plug it in, it acts like it has connected, then instantly disconnects, gives the message that the USB connection session was lost. I updated to the latest Spacedesk driver (I was only one version behind), and still nothing. I followed the instructions for the diagnostic, so I am hoping it performed the task correctly. I tried to zip the whole folder, but it was still too large. I have instead zipped 5 of the files: the 3 log files and two txt files. I can send more if needed.
Connecting via Wifi isn’t an issue when I am home, but I do travel, and sometimes the way Wifi is set up at a hotel or other places, it isn’t a viable option to connect to my laptop. The USB is also faster and more stable just by it’s nature of being a wired connection.
I have tried all the “normal” solutions: restarting both devices, turning USB debugging on, off, different cables, clearing the cache, clearing Spacedesk settings, etc. Nothing has had any effect.
Please advise, as I am not sure what is causing this to suddenly stop working “out of the blue.”

Thank you for sending your logs. Do you have the latest version of the spacedesk App on your Viewer device? We just released a new update v2.1.34 on the Play Store so make sure you have the latest on your device. Also, in your viewer device’s USB settings, is it set to either “Transferring files” or “Transferring photos”? If it’s not set to any of those, you cannot connect to spacedesk via USB.
