Regarding the HDR, anything's possible - I have no idea what I could do other than disable it on both PCs just to be safe, and that's a minor irritation, but doable if I have to. I'll play around and see if I can get the menu bar to pop up - I never expected it to be there, but then, I thought a key-combo would be able to switch PC, so I'm not really on top of things. I WAS able to make some basic use of the software once I disabled full-screen mode as default (maybe something I

OK, I got it working to an acceptable degree - basically, for anyone who wants to know, once you click connect under KVM, QUICKLY, and I mean QUICKLY open a new window so the first one can't capture you in full-screen. Then you should be able to click the settings at the top of the KVM window and tell it NOT to default to full-screen, so you don't get trapped. IF there's another way out other than closing the app from the machine you get locked into, I don't know it. The sidebar

Interesting. It doesn't "window" for me - I'll have to look into how to make that happen. On my PC, when I open the KVM window, select the PC I want to use, it instantly full-screens and captures the screen, forwarding everything to the secondary system.

OK, I think I understand now - once you KVM to another PC, there's no way to get back without closing the app. Also the little bug about monitor brightness stacking (HDR+HDR making everything super washed-out), but that's another issue. So the ONLY native way to get back in the app (meaning without closing Multiplicity or restarting it) is to use the sidebar? I was hoping to avoid adding a new bar. Sounds like I could create a macro that would kill Multiplicity to boot me back to the

I'll dive into the doc and get back with any questions! Thanks a million! So basically it sounds like if I can "kill" the KVM connection somehow, I can get back to the main PC. I'll look into it. Thanks again!

Hi, thanks for your reply! Ok, first of all, yes, Multiplicity 4. Just installed yesterday off the latest download available. OK, I must not have understood what Multiplicity did correctly - I have a physical KVM and I use it to switch from PC1 to PC2. Each time I switch, the monitor, keyboard, and mouse all physically disconnect from one and connect to the other. I didn't want "seamless" mode since I don't have multiple monitors. Regarding what you s

Roger wilco, thanks!

I also found that there's no "sidebar" option on the secondary computer - if that feature existed, presumably it would allow for switching. Or having a "select your system" option as a right-click context menu in the system tray icon... is there really no way to switch back if you haven't pre-configured a hotkey (or one that works?)?

I'm having the same issue - I had no trouble setting up CTL+ALT+Q for the primary computer, and CTL+ALT+W for the secondary. In testing, it worked like magic, CTL+ALT+W instantly changed my screen! But trying CTL+ALT+Q to return to the primary did absolutely nothing, and the only way I could escape the secondary was to shut it down. A secondary error seems to be that each PC is in HDR mode, and their HDRs stack or something, with the final output when I'm on the secondary PC being REA
