Sorry, I should have link to this guide for Multiplicity 4: https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/2044035094/HotKeys.

Not really sure why your screenshot look different. Need to know what is your full Multiplicity version installed?

Thank you,

I checked again and it look like the hotkey switching only available on Multiplicity 4 Pro. If this the case have you tried the "Scroll lock toggles..." setting?

Thank you,

no. i've tried. it's still not working. :( 
by now i only could use delayed shutdown command to close my computer so that i can have enough time to move back to my primary machine.

I suspect you mean 'shutting down' or 'rebooting' the Secondary PC.

MP will \ should return control to the Primary PC for a Seamless connection when it can verify that their is no longer a network connection to the Secondary the cursor was on.

With that, if you unplug the network connection to the Secondary or Primary, does control return to the Primary?

Also, if you use Ctrl + ALT + Del on the Primary keyboard, does the Primary PC respond to it?

I try press Ctrl + ALT + Del and my primary PC response.but when i exit the Ctrl + ALT + Del it stuck again...
I tried it when my secondary PC is shown offline on the UI of Primary PC, but still won't be able to controll to my primary PC.

I want to be clear on what I am asking you to do.

When you see this happen, where when you are on the Secondary and you shut it down, and its does not return control to the Primary, that you unplug the physical network cable from the Primary PC, does it then return control to it?

Do you use normal seamless or using hotkeys to switch pcs?
