Which sub/release version of Windows 10 are you using?

Which sub/release version of Windows 10 are you using?

10.18363.592.1

With a bit of research, to be able to enjoy this driver you have to use 10 build 1904* or later. This is the lowest that would work, I believe from reading official MS documents about the feature.:

Windows10 19041, also know as 20H1/Vb . Released May 2020. The version of the system software, which VDD is based on, isn't compatible with binding GPU and a whole set of other functions.

So if you aim to use this software, suggest you update OS to the most recent build.

Good Luck

I have same issue here is my winver copy. I did all the steps mentioned as per this video guide - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byfBWDnToYk .
In my case everything upto installing the driver is same and the results are same. The issue is after installing I see no monitor in my display settings. I also tried rebooting post installation of drivers. Installing drivers wasw smooth adn with no errors.
Here is my winver copy .

Windows is updated to the latest available updates at the time of writing here.

Driver installed as :

Hope this helps to find out what I am not doing right of where is the issue.

anyone with issues, please may you try the beta enabling logs within the vdd_settings.xml then create an issue request and upload your logs so we can diagnose the issue

Can you explain please the way to do this? Where should i look at to enable it?

[bud3699]

Back on the main repository page or website you can download the beta, following the same instructions except instead of option.txt it's vdd_settings.xml, you can open the xml file in a regular text editor and down at the bottom you should see an option to change to enable logs. Do this before installing the driver so we can get a full log file

beta enabling logs within the vdd_settings.xml

Ok... Seems i found the issue. In the youtube tutorial, author shows link from main repository page. But there are version for win11. I took this one: Virtual Display Driver 23.10.20.2 (Windows 10+) NonHDR version, and now i have 2 monitors.

[bud3699]

Ah, installing wrong version then

And you can see that previous users also installed HDR version, that seems was taken from main page. But for different OS version. You can put kind of RED sign at main to be careful when downloading archive )))

Thank you, anyway, now its time to test it )))

[inuonly]

Yes I can confirm the same as Wundrwaffle and bud3699 discussed in the above replies. It is about the wrong version installation.
Since the release tab only displays win 11 HDR version so that is something which get users to do so. In release tabs please include all the assets for all the versions in latest releases. This should avoid getting into the wrong version hopefully for all users.
However if you click windows 10 link in the homepage ( Readme files ) I can see it is updated 1 hour ago and now shows both win 10 and win 11 versions separately, that is working fine for me as of now. Here are the screenshots to show the changes and a successful installation and its results for my use case. Hope this helps.

Which links to choose from : ( at the time of writing this , may be the author/maintainer updates 😉)

Releases tab currently only has one version assets not others.

My downloaded version :

Worked for my windows version ( copy of winver) :

Location of installation folder : (Note do not skip installation stpes, like running installCert.bat file with admin rights , in short follow installation steps in the readme/homepage)

Driver name in device driver after successful installation :

Result in display settings : (Note Default resolution might be smaller I changed it to suit my need and screenshot was takenm after that)

Thanks for the help. 😊❤

If you look at the commit history that was me an hour ago adding the important notice, the links have always been here. We appreciate your consideration on release but as of now upholding two different drivers have been deprecated in favour for our beta release with single driver support. For the mistake of downloading the incorrect by clicking latest release, that is user error, if the user decides not to read the GitHub readme first then that's user error. The website itself may be easier for you to read downloads.

Nevertheless, glad you got it sorted

Indded a user error. Also I am not a developer so sorry no idea on how release version control and other stuff in github works, so sorry on that part as well as part for not reading readme. I did not start at github I started at the video tutorial on youtube and jumped on to github with straight up to releases ( muscle memory for obtaining latest stuff ) so that way my bad in my use case to not read the instructions. Just posted images if someone looks back at their mistake same as mine to refer what went wrong. Hope it help. Hoping that single driver support soon comes out of beta, good luck. Have a good one ahead. 😊

Yes, no problemo! I updated the readme and adjusted the install instructions to hopefully steer away from any confusion in future! Thanks for the feedback! And hopefully getting the beta out to release soon too!

@kuangke9527 did you resolve this issue too? Was it downloading incorrect version. If so I'll mark the issue as completed and close it
