Lumia 950XL - Project My Screen not working after Win10 1803 Update - Black Screen

Anonymous

I use my 950XL extensively for demos of my company's software because it's much better display than my iPhone and doesn't need additional apps to do it.

I updated my Win10 desktop today to 1803 and also my phone updated to .104 and the app no longer works.

When I open the app I get the message on the phone to ask if I want to share and I agree. The display on the desktop is black, but I can actually start applications on the phone by clicking inside the black window, so there obviously is a connection, just no display.

I was working perfectly, but not now.

As a workaround, is it possible to use continuum? I'm sure there used to be an option to display the phone's screen rather than a full desktop to the connected display but that appears to be no longer available

Thanks,

Chris

    The application crashes after connecting and if i still connected the L1020 and restarted the application, the 1020 restarts and the application crashes.

    Same goes with my L920.

    Humm... I can't reproduce the issue with my Win10M device...

    But I added some code for more stabilized USB connection.

    It may help to avoid the issue.

    Just for fun  I tried the original MS app, after upgrade of Win 10 to version 1809 : it still doesn't work.

    Happily using nyama3310's program.

    Yes, I kept trying after each patch and update but I think the ship has sailed.

    My Lumia 950XL lives on, thanks to nyama3310, no thanks to Microsoft.
