(MP3 KVM Pro 3.6) Background My primary is Win 11 24H2 with 2 secondary Win 10 (all 3 are on same LAN) For about 3 years I have struggled with either black screens or screens that work but kbd/mouse is inactive. Usually restarting KVM service on primary or secondary or both clears it up. I have uninstalled / reinstalled 20+ times. I have opened tickets. I have received purgemp-new.bat to clear all traces.... And its always been

I went into device manager and disabled power savings on all enumerated USB devices and suddenly things have stabilized for the past 2 days. I cant say its fixed, but im going to let things bake in before trying mpportfix because currently fw is disabled on both machines and I was really careful creating the rules manually according to the docs. Thanks

Hi, I didnt quite understand your reply. If you are suggesting that I could open KVM connections to all my secondaries, they would then show up in the taskbar when the session is minimized, I have tried that. This approach doesnt work well. First it requires me to connect to all the secondaries manually. (They dont auto-open) Then cut/paste is difficult. After cutting, I have to cycle through maybe 10+ taskbar items (KVM sessions + all my open windows) to locat

I have one monitor on my primary pc and two headless secondaries. I do own dummy hdmi plugs that can fool secondary display adapters into thinking they have monitors plugged in if needed (they are not currently installed) In this configuration KVM mode works What I expected / would like in seamless mode, is when the cursor goes off screen or I press a hotkey, the primary desktop display flips or pans to the chosen secondary. At a minimum this would be like KVM mode whe

And to clarify, if i align left and choose show on monitor 2, i cant trigger sidebar to display because the mouse doesnt stop on the left edge on monitor 2, it continues onto monitor 1. For some reason my NVidia card thinks monitor 1 is active even when its on a different input. This prevents the cursor from stopping at the left boundary of monitor 2. Its a pain

Good idea but I cant align left. I have 2 monitors side by side (secondary on left, primary on right) The desktop spans both monitors. The left hand usually is set to HDMI #2 which displays my PS5. When I set MP to align left, it aligns to the left of monitor 1 (which means it is not visible until I switch back to HDMI #1). If there was an option to "Align left on primary", that would work. However since I now know how to create a shortcut, sidebar isnt 100% critical. I can just throw

1) I have had this issue for years but until recently I didnt need to access the secondary machines a lot. Originally I thought it was a bug in MP and that other people would report it and eventually it would get fixed. No such luck. Now that Im using the secondaries daily, I was hoping to get this resolved 2) You misunderstood " Close and reopen the keyboard ...". What I mean is... If I close and reopen the MP session, then the

Sidebar is unwantingly opening about 20 times a day because my mouse ptr is near the edge of the screen for a moment. This may occur because Im clicking the close window on a full screen app or trying to use drag a scroll button near the right edge. I have delay checkbox enabled but I was wondering if there was a setting or regkey to set the delay. If not, could someone consider this for a future enhancement?

My primary and secondaries are all 1Gb lan wired connections on Win 10 with no AV and no firewall (i would like to enable these after fixing this) When I connect to a secondary I commonly see a blank desktop. Sometimes for 5 seconds, sometimes for 2 minutes. It NEVER FAILS OR ERRORS. Its just slow to initially draw the desktop. Other times the display is just fine but keyboard/mouse dont work. If I close and reopen the keyboard usually starts working. There is nothing

Hi, I am running one primary and 3 headless secondaries. Currently the only way I know of to connect to a secondary is to use the multiplicity sidebar app. Is there a way to create a shortcut for each secondary OR one shortcut that prompts for the desired target? Ideally I would like an icon on the taskbar. IF there is a way to use a mouse gesture to connect/disconnect from a secondary, that would be fine too. Thanks

Ok. My pc only has intel's internal display adapter which is limited to 1280x1024. Is it possible to configure MP to use the Microsoft Remote Display Adapter Driver instead? Thats what remote desktop uses to draw much higher resolutions than can be displayed locally

Hi, I tried it with no improvement. Honestly, it didnt appear to do anything. I thought it might shuffle icons around or sort them or something, but nothing obvious happened and the clipping persisted. Please note that I have fence separation at 1 pixel (2 fences side by side separated by 1 pixel) and I manually dragged left and right edge inward until it stopped (min width allowed by a fence based on icon size). I am wondering whether the fence resizing routine is all

These 2 clips were taken 30 secs apart with no changes applied. Only thing different is that I clicked on different fence. Clipping can be slight or moderate. There are times when left 2 chars are missing on every line of the icon label <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/50/8/5008942/4d33d225-80cb-423d-9eba-04d6c908aaba.jpg"

Im on V4. Wow. That did fix it. Why is Lock Fences tied to fence labels? I cant see how they are related. I would like to adjust width which doesnt require labels to be present. Either way, it would be desirable at least to show the choice greyed out. That would hint there is an option that is blocking it from being enabled.

Thanks. No change. Its easy for me to repro. I have 2 fences lined up side by side (left, right). When created there was a gap between them that I didnt want. I dragged the fence edge to extend/reduce the width of the fence as desired. I chose to reduce the window size until it was the min width for the existing icon size. In this way the fence displayed all the icons and text correctly. I did the same for the other fence. Now I dragged the fences so they were separated by 1 pixel (es

Why is remote desktop able to provide much higher resolution and proper 16:9 ratio when multiplicity seems to be stuck at one resolution only? I know I can press 1:1 but that doesnt improve resolution. Ive poured through the docs and the configuration options. I cant seem figure out how to do this Thanks for any help

Winx64 Pro with all patches) I have multiple fences aligned next to each other and the width manually set to be wide enough to properly store the icons. It displays fine for a while and then 1/2 of the icon is missing/truncated. By simply clicking any icon in the fence will cause it to draw properly. If I click outside of the fence, the fence displays wrong. If I reboot it works properly for a while. (I have uninstalled/reinstalled graphics driver without impro

Running Win 10x64 with all patches and running latest fences. "Configure Fences" item does show up but "Lock Fences" doesnt. This is perplexing. I have used SHEXVIEW to verify no context menu handlers are disabled.

I intend to upgrade (if stardock has such a thing) eventually when Win 11 is more mature and if/when they support TPM / wrong processor officially. I cant imagine millions of people rushing out to buy new MB, processor, etc just to get Win 11 especially when prices are insane. However, I would get it immedately if it ran on Win 10. Anyway, I chased this issue for 2 weeks and less than 24 hours after posting, I decided to do something crazy time intensive. I downloaded MS symbo

What do you suggest? I have uninstalled start10 twice, rebooted and installed. Are there any known conflicts with other sw? When i uninstall start10 the system gets stable.

Hi, Thanks for the quick response. Are you telling me that Start10 wont be fixed? I dont own Windows 11. If Stardock forces me to upgrade to fix a bug in the existing product, is there an upgrade price? As you are obviously very familiar with Start 11, whats the top new feature for Start 11 (other than Win 11 support) Happy Holidays

Most times after running full screen apps and playing videos (usually KMPlayer or using Chrome/Edge on youtube), I notice that the full screen app (yes i pressed maximize) doesnt cover the taskbar any longer AND the taskbar background color appears to go transparent. You may think the taskbar is hidden but it isnt. All icons show up and they work. Closing the app doesnt help. Its broken until reboot. It also breaks if startdock is disabled the default win 10 menu retur

Hi, After several days I found it. I have a program loaded that has run for years without issue with start10. I can only assume that the app broke after a recent windows update. I determined that Actual Multi Monitors is incompatible currently with Start10. AMM will start to consume windows messages that affect redraw and after a while it hangs explorer with the dreaded spinning cursor. Explorer is completely unresponsive. Killing AMM returns everything to normal If an

Thanks for your responses. I have unloaded and reloaded the lasted version. I have run sfc/scannow and dism. There are no corrupted files. When I remove start10 or even just start10 unload, the corruption immediately disappears. I am also running nvidia whql certified video driver and the prev build just in case. I have uninstalled rebooted, reinstall rebooted. It looks fine until I open open the menu. Im now running 2021H2 Win 10 with no improvement. Also I forgot

This started occuring yesterday. I havent patched anything or updated anything myself in weeks (including video drivers) except for having to reinstall norton av due to licensing change. Ive never seen anything like this before. Its so exactly sized to the start10 menu and goes away immediately when unloading start10, i dont have any starting point. It never occurs with native windows start menu. Moreover, if have never seen a display driver bug which caused blurring. Ive seen a ton of bluesc
