Flashing Black screen

[rangerwolfy]

Hi I recently upgraded to windows 10 and was previously using UltraVNC on windows 7. Now I'm having issues connecting to the same servers I was connecting to just fine on windows 7. My issue is I keep getting a black screen when I'm trying to work on remote servers. I'll be working for a couple minutes actively on the server and then it just goes black. The screen will come back after a couple seconds and work again but its getting in the way.

I'm running the latest version of UltraVNC and i do have to tunnel to the servers.

I looked for similar issues but i couldnt find any. Sorry if i missed them.

Thank you

I have this same exact problem. it was driving me absolutely nuts. I determined that the flash happened 60 seconds exactly from when I connected to the server and then every 60 seconds thereafter. Rudi had asked if the connection type was set to AUTO, and it was. the solution was to just set it to something else. I now have two sessions open to a server, one is at Ultra, the other at medium. and neither one of them are flashing anymore!

so, to sum up:

VNCVIEWER FLASHING BLACK EVERY 60 SECONDS WHEN USING AUTO SETTINGS UNDER QUICK OPTIONS FIXED BY CHOOSING SOMETHING ELSE.

special use of capslock to emphasize my excitement.
Also note: I posted this response to another thread where someone was asking about the same thing.

Hey, thanks for this tip. Was able to resolve my issue as well with this. Was also in the brink of punching my machine having no luck at finding any working solutions in the internet. Thanks for posting. Really appreciate it.
