Could you send me over a debug log? Here are the steps:

  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
  • Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Reply with the file attached
  • Disable debug logging after sending the log

I'm having an identical issue, nothing found on searches and 'unable to connect' appears after trying manually to connect to the computer's ipv4 address. They are on the same subnet.

after running the netsh commend I do receive the' 0.0.0.0:21452 COMPUTERNAME:0 listening' message you indicated.
