Error "The screen cannot be captured at the moment..." when attempting to view multiple monitors

I am trying to connect to a Mac (with two monitors) on my local network from a Windows 10 PC. I can view one monitor at a time just fine but when I attempt to view multiple monitors at the same time, I get the following error:

The screen cannot be captured at the moment. This is probably due to fast user switching or a disconnected/minimized Remote Desktop Session.

I've already made sure I have no Remote Desktop sessions active.

This still appears to be a problem on the latest build. I am trying to connect to a MAC from a Windows 10 machine.

Anyone figure out how to solve this yet?

While I don't have a multi-monitor setup I was receiving the same error message while trying to access a server. The message would show up and kind of flicker like it was refreshing quickly. Try adding this line to the host machine's registry using an elevated command prompt:

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TeamViewer /v DisableDuplicationAPI /d 1 /t REG_DWORD

I'm faceing same issue. on win10.

The screen cannot be captured at the moment. This is probably due to fast user switching or a disconnected/minimized Remote Desktop Session.
