Can't See Icons on Host Computer (OSX)
I recently upgraded my host computer to OSX 11.4 Big Sur and ever since, I've been having a weird issue.
My remote computer (also Apple, running OSX 10.12.4 Sierra) can connect, and a window opens to the host computer, but all I see is my host computer's wallpaper and the menu bar at the top. No icons, no files, no windows. I can't click on anything. So I went in to the office and the host computer is fine - the desktop is looking normal. All my icons and windows display on screen and I can click everything.
I'm running the latest version of GoToMyPC, I've re-booted both computers and I've checked all permissions for GoToMyPC and LogMeIn. What would be causing this partial connection to my host computer?
Thanks, Toasty!
I showed my office IT Manager your message and he did the following that seems to have worked:
- System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Unchecked GotoMyPC and then recheckedGotoMyPC
- He removed g2p_launchagenthost from accessibility and did not add it back.
- The final step was to connect to GotoMyPC from a different device (my iPad) and this time it prompted to add g2p_launchagenthost back on my host Mac, which he did and it worked.

DougS1 It sounds like you've done the standard troubleshooting steps, and we'd like to document your issue further. Please call into Support at your convenience when you have access to the problem host PC: https://support.logmeininc.com/gotomypc/help/how-do-i-contact-customer-support-1107395211
Things we've tried so far:
- Checking all permissions for Full Disc Access, Automation and Screen Recording in the Security & Privacy settings
- Adding GoToMyPC Registration, GoToAssist Customer and i1Profiler to the Input Monitoring and Bluetooth categories
- Un-checking and re-checking all the permissions again
- Removed and re-installed GoToMyPC on the host computer
- Knocked the screen resolution back to 2560 X 1440
- Made sure the keyboard is set to US standard and that the keyboard and mouse are fully charged
- Also, yes, I did an uninstall and re-install on the host computer yesterday and got no change.
The host display is at 5120 X 2880 and the remote display is 1920 X 1080.
I went into System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Screen Recording and checked g2p_launchagenthost and now I can see my icons and windows, but my mouse and keyboard still aren't responding.
DougS1 Have you done a complete removal / re-install of GoToMyPC on the host computer?
Can you say which resolution the host display is currently set to?
