Virtual display gets deleted after closing and reopening laptop flap for 5 minutes #40

Open prakyath-07 opened 2 months ago

prakyath-07 commented 2 months ago

When the laptop flap is closed and then reopened after more than 5 minutes, the virtual display is deleted and needs to be reconfigured.

Im using ParsecVDisplay-v0.45-setup.exe

Repro Steps:

Create virtual displays
Close the laptop flap.
Wait for more than 5 minutes.
Reopen the laptop flap.
Observe that the virtual display is deleted.

Have you disabled the "fast startup" options?

Never saw this case before but seems the app is stopped for a second before your laptop goes sleep, then all displays should be removed even the app is still opening. The next patch will restore your displays.

Yes , "fast startup" was enabled, I tried disabling it still facing the same issue

prakyath-07 commented 2 months ago

Do you have any immediate solution that I can try at my end?

nomi-san commented 2 months ago

I have just tested 2 app versions. Sure the current implementation in WPF will stop all thread before sleeping. The old app in Winforms works properly, all displays are reserved. I will fix that soon.

Here is the old impl (no GUI, only has the context menu), lets try it. SimpleVDD.zip

Could you please provide the driver files for the same?

nomi-san commented 1 month ago

I used the latest v0.45, it works with any version.

prakyath-07 commented 1 month ago

I tried with SimpleVDD its still same. Virtual display is getting deleted

Devices Tested On :

Asus TUF F15 (Windows 11)
Dell Precision 5540 (Windows 11 Pro)
Asus ROG Strix G17 (Windows 11)

Edit : I resolved the issue by recreating the deleted virtual displays after fetching the list of available displays.

Any updates?

nomi-san commented 1 month ago

Im not sure your laptop was going sleep (suspended) or hibernated when closing lid. But sure that the app suspended a few seconds after getting up. I have tested on many latop devices with both Sleep mode and Hibernate mode, that give the same behaviours. And the SimpleVDD works as well, so the next patch I will apply these fixes from the old approach.
