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

    I'm glad to hear it:)

    > Have you made any more updates?

    No plan. My to do for the app are:

    * Avoid crash

       =>It's MS's matter. I can't fix it.

         We may wait next major update of Win 10;(

    * Comment out that double click => space key => toggle drawing.

       =>It's easy but should I do it or not? I wait for opinion.

    * Fix distortion of touch coodinate

       =>It may be specification. I don't know the way of fix it.

    So, I am pending these issues.

    Thanks for all your help on this.

    Have you made any more updates?

    Unfortunately mine experiences regular crashes but otherwise the functionality is exactly what I need.

    No doubt, it is the same as the problem I pointed out.

    And I can also reproduce it latest my app.

    But like you, I can not reproduce reliably and

    I cannot find any bug about touch event...

    This may be specification behavior by MS

    because it's same in MS app...

    Oh, I see and it's not bug but is specification

    by original author.

    I found the following code in original source.

    * If you do LBUTTON double click, it's converted to

      SPCAE key down.

    * If you do SPACE key down, App pauses drawing.

      And you do SPACE key down again, App resumes drawing.

    I don't know why original author implements such a

    operation. (It may be for easy recording operation?)

    It's easy comment out these code.

    But should I do it or not?

    Sorry for the late reply. It just happens. I have no idea how to reproduce. So I've recorded a gif for you.

    This time it happens at the bottom of the screen too.
