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

    Correct. It is not a windows phone problem, no matter which model or software running.

    The 1803 update on the PC screwed up the ProjectMy Screen app.

    Hello,

    I have exactly the same problem - I have Lumia 950XL and Project My Screen App on my Windows 10 PC. After 1803 update the PmS app stopped working - black screen!

    In my desktop PC I don't have WiFi card, so I can't use Connect app. Also I can't use Continuum because I want to project the screen of Lumia 950XL during operating my Windows 10 desktop PC and I don't have a separate monitor for Continuum nor a docking station.

    Reinstallation of drivers didn't work. The bug is clearly in 1803 update. 

    Please correct it!

    Best reagards,

    Lukasz

    To add some data points to the discussion:

    1. ProjectMyScreen App (and whoever is trying to bring Continuum into this, please, just stop) was broken by 1803 upgrade. I had one piece of the hardware which I had an opportunity to revert to 1709 and it worked again. Upgrade forward -- breakage, restore from backup -- working. Unfortunately, I do not have this hardware any more (it was misappropriated for testing enroute to someone else :) ), but I still have 1709 boot media and, if someone at Microsoft is willing to work with me, I will build test environment from ground up (yes, I need it to work -- I am supporting older relative who is used to her Windows Phone and unwilling to switch to iOS or Android).
    2. I am an Insider -- as of 17686.1003 it still is broken. I will report it through  FeedBack hub shortly, even though it *definitely* is a problem with the release.
    3. It is not phone specific -- I am able to reproduce it on Lumia 650 and Alcatel IDOL 4s.
