Hi,

The second screen app on my Samsung Galaxy tablet has stopped working since the last Samsung software update I carried out in the last couple of days.

It initially connects to my PC OK but when I try to run it, the Second Screen app just shuts down without warning, before I see a second screen.

Is there a fix for that?

Thank You

Regards

George

      Hey geoco, would you mind trying this for us and see if Second Screen pops up again?

      1) Open Smart View from notification panel
      2)Press 3 dots on top left corner to go to Smart view settings
      3)Them press on about Smart View
      4)Then press on the big smart view text about 5 - 7 times
      4)Now smart view developer options will open and at the bottom will be a option to start second screen.

      Hi,

      Thanks for the reply.

      I got to

      "press on the big smart view text about 5 - 7 times"

      and nothing happens, no matter how many times I press the text.

      I've never seen an instruction to tap something "5-7 times" before, is this something new?

      What are the 5-7 presses trying to do, and why wouldn't a double or single tap do?

      Is another another, more conventional, way to access "developer options"?

      Thank You

      Regards

      George

      Hi,

      I managed to enable developer options by doing a search for it in the search bar.

      But I can't find second screen in the developer options list.

      Please help.

      Thank You

      Regards

      George

      Same. Second screen option does not exist in Quick Settings.

      Very frustrating. This is one of the reasons why I bought this tablet.

      Hi, I have a very similar problem. I can open Second Screen on PC and Tablet. PC can detect my Tab but when I try to connect, the Tablet screen goes blank for about 5 seconds and then I get kicked out back to my home page and the PC states ' cannot connect'
      I have restarted both PC and Tab, reinstalled Second Screen on PC but the problem persists.
      I have windows 11, Samsung Tab 8 Ultra with latest OS.

      There is another topic/thread:

      https://r1.community.samsung.com/t5/tablets/second-screen-not-working/m-p/24332025/highlight/true#M4681

      It did not help me with the same issue, but it worked for some users. I hope it helps you.
