Win11 Host to Win10 Headless KVM Pro - Black Screen

October 9, 2021 9:12:19 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I have a cleanly installed Windows 11 Multiplicity KVM Pro Host and I'm connecting to a headless Windows 10 21H1 but all I get is a black screen.  If I have the sidebar open I can see the remote's desktop, or lock screen, in the thumbnail but when I click connect I just get a black screen.

I have tried every setting combination I can think of.  I have disabled my anti-virus (Sophos Home).  I have removed other remote agents, like GoToAssist and nothing works.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

This is in my small home lab.

I also installed onto a physical Server 2019, which works perfectly.  It's just that Win10 21H1 PC I'm having trouble with.  I'm going to setup a 21H1 VM and see how that goes.

These are super cheap and effective:

Sorry I didn't reply sooner.

This worked perfectly. I also connected a portable USB-C powered monitor and that worked as well.

Thanks!
