[Issue] Second screen copy the first screen when locked #1263
Description
Issue description
When using Virtual display (Apollo 0.4.6 - Artemis 20.2.6 -- Same issue all versions I tested) and the screen of the host is locked (Win+L, not exiting session), sometimes (About 1 out of 2 times), the virtual screen will become a copy of the first. When it happens, the only way to fix it is to stop the session completely and start it again
Reproduction Steps
Use the virtual monitor option to create a second screen with the client and lock the host using Win+L
If the second screen goes black, unlock and try again
If the second screen shows the lockscreen and is the copy of the primary screen, you successfully reproduced the issue
Custom Apollo Settings
- Keep virtual sink as default : off
- Auto capture current sink : off
- Use realtime priority in hardware accelerated gpu scheduling : off
- Prefer lower encoding latency over power savings : off
Editing these settings does not seem to affect the issue
