Compatibility with Big Sur

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Are there any known issues with connecting to a Mac running Big Sur?

When I connect to my MacBook from my Windows computer (which is next to the MacBook) the connection randomly freezes and the screen stops updating. I can still see the mouse moving on the MacBook, but the display just doesn't update.

I can maintain a connection without issue to other Windows computers in my house without issue for hours.

Sorry it took so long, but the issue isn't resolved by refreshing the screen in the method you mentioned.

I have tried new network cables and a new network adapter and the problem persists. Once my new switch arrives, I will try again.

All I know is this issue is only happening when connecting from my PC to Mac using wired connection on a USB-C hub. If I connect via wifi, I don't have the issue.

That being said, connecting from PC to PC using the same USB-C hub and network switch and cable has no issues.

And just to be clear, it's only the display that stops rendering. I have the Mac sitting right next to me and I can see the mouse move and do whatever I want. The remove display on the PC just freezes.

I have the same issue. Unplugging the wired connection and switching to just wifi fixes it, but I need to use the wired connection if at all possible for data transfer.

Hello @CMTietgen,

We do not have any compatiblity issues with Big Sur.

However, what you could try is to use the Refresh screen button within the remote control session:
