• This has some changes to the keyboard handling queue to further prevent the possibility it could stall things

There is a Problem with Phraseexpress

2. all clipboard functions deactivated
3. Insert a Phrase with macro (see below)  e.g. in text editor  with phrase express
4. When muliplicity is enabled: there is a lag
5. When muliplicity is disabled(unloaded): there is not a lag

..i could send you the macro file and then you will immediately see…

Hello,

thanks for the quick support. My windows cloud clipboard feature is disabled and also not in use from phraseexpress.

I´d suggest i forward you the simple macro, so you can import it in your phrasexpress test install and test it immediately…

Furthermore, couldn´t there be a complete clipboard disablement switch in multiplicity settings, in order not to interfere with other programs? I personally do not need any clipboard functionality in multiplicity.

If you have disabled the option for sharing clipboard in multiplicity and rebooted it shouldn't be doing anything at all with clipboard.

We would need the macro and full instructions on use to investigate as thats not a product we are familiar with.  I did notice it give a warning about intellipoint on open so it may be it simply doesn't like anything which uses keyboard hooks.

Hello,

this is already completely disabled. So it must be something other.

Can i send you the macro somehow?

To be clear, the Secondary is not a VM but running one, yes?

If true, and the VM is shut down, does the 'lag' persist?

When you see this issue, what does the CPU usage look like in Task Manager, and if high (likely) what process(es) is getting crushed?

If you turn off clipboard sharing, does it still persist?

Well, my prior response was for jeffrey_hendricks

Still, it's more luck than judgement if the mouse cursor appears on the secondary on a single additional KVM install. Mouse just seems to fade away. Have done all suggested fixes simply put it's slowing production to a standstill. Is the fact I'm using a wireless mouse an issue because I don't have any problems on either when connecting directly. Ideas to fix or I am ditching this idea.

I have installed it and you can post a shared link to the macro.

Hello All,

I am currently installing 3.57 to update from 3.44 and when installed on a Win7 32 bit machine I cannot launch the local application instance.  Master was updated first,Win10 Enterprise, no issues. Secondary was then updated, Win7 32-bit, unsuccessfully. The service is running, firewall config stayed the same and I can still connect to it from my master. But when locally launched all I get is a long delay then a webpage for stardock. Master is running 3.57 and the Secondary has been downgraded back to 3.44 for full functionality until this is resolved. 

Steps Taken - 

Uninstall 3.44, reboot, Install 3.57 - Long pause then sent to a webpage and no application popped up

Uninstalled 3.57, reboot

I tried to do an incremental upgrade(3.44 to 3.55 to 3.57) - same result (sent to webpage and no application)

I tried a full clean install using your *.bat file to remove all registry entries. Did this twice for both 3.55 and 3.57 - same result (sent to webpage and no application)

Finally uninstalled and went back to 3.44

All processes were performed using the local administrator account each time.

Please let me know what steps I can take to assist the diagnosis

I've been having serious issues with the audio sharing for several versions now.

my secondary computer is sending audio to my primary computer it works okay. but it seems if the audio ever gets interrupted. like by the cpu spiking on the secondary (or primary) computer the audio stops sending and never comes back and I have to uncheck send audio to when receiver is online and recheck it. that's the only way it comes back and I have to do this all the time now if I'm watching youtube or something that may spike cpu. if it came back on its own and resync after a while that would be fine but I have to uncheck and recheck all the time.

I've tried messing with the slider and adding more buffering and delay but it doesn't seem to help very much

Thanks for working on this
