Hello Marco,

Thank you for your message.

Please try enabling the Use legacy capture mode feature on one of your Hosts. You can enable it in the Host Settings -> Other tab.
After enabling the feature please make sure to restart your Host to apply changes.
In addition, please also make sure that your Android OS on the device is updated to the most recent available version as well.

Let us know if this works for your or if the issue still persists.

Hello Fausto,

In case if you still have Host installed on your machine and keep getting the same error when launching it, could you please send us the screenshot of the error message? Also, please try adding Host installation folder to the exception list of whatever antivirus software you have installed on the computer (even if it's just standard Windows Defender), you can follow this guide to do so.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Fausto,

Thank you for your message.

Have you tried uninstalling Host completely as described here and then re-installing it from scratch after the error occurred? If this issue was caused by some damaged/corrupted Host files, this might have helped to resolve the issue.

Hope that helps.

Hello John,

Could you please verify that the issue with the cursor occurs only on one specific Host or if it occurs always regardless of the Host you’re connecting to?

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello John,

Perhaps, it was some temporary glitch. I'm glad to hear that it works for you now!

I'll let you know once there's an update regarding the Shift key.

Hello John,

Yes, when you restart Host, Viewer will wait for it to restart and try re-connecting to it in the same session automatically.
Please try restarting your Viewer as well (make sure to fully exit it with File -> Exit) and see if this helps to fix the issue with the Windows key.

Let us know if this helps.
