I've been running TV 10 for a while now to connect two laptops at home (Windows 10) to a multi-monitor laptop at a remote location (Windows 7). I use one local laptop per monitor for the remote location so I can essentially replicate a dual monitor environment (Using Input Director for the local KVM). This setup has been working just fine for a long time. To note, each laptop is running an external monitor...one using an external USB Port replicator with HDMI, the other is just VGA.

I recently, and reluctantly, upgraded all machines to TV 11. Now when I try to access the remote location with either of my local laptops, the Connecting to xxxx screen comes up and just hangs on "Initializing display parameters". It is only when I then connect from my second laptop that a connection can be established...and when it does, it does it on both (presuming I left the first one open) and everything then works fine. It doesn't matter which laptop I launch from first, it always needs the second's connection in order to come up on both.

I am fine with this when I am at home with both laptops since I always connect both anyway, but when I hit the road, I only take one laptop with me and still need the remote access.

Anyone else have a similar problem to this?
