Why do the remote PCs desktop icons sometime remain overlaid over my screen after closing connection

I was the one to initiate the connection, and they only disappeared about 10 minutes after we closed the connection.

I tried restarting the video driver with Ctrl+Shift+Windows+B, tried restarting windows explorer from the task manager, but neither option fixed it. It just seemed to go away on its own after a while.

I have two monitors, incase that's relevant.

I have the latest Teamviewer updates, as well as an up to date windows installation.

Thanks in advance.

    Hello @promitheas,

    Welcome to the TeamViewer Community!

    Did this happen only once? Or is this happening after every connection?

  • On my home computer (screenshot) this happened only this once, that I noticed. At work where we extensively use TeamViewer (tech support at university), I've noticed this a few times. Not every time though. Most connections close normally.


    Thanks
