Mac host only showing desktop wallpaper and menu bar

Mac has just received a new update (to Big Sur) I log in with Windows 10 and all I see is desktop wallpaper and menu bar. I've checked the security settings, everything LogMeIn related is checked. The issue began with the update.

    This is undocumented, and I was pulling my hair out - doesn't work with Windows talking to Mac either lately.   But I fixed it inadvertently today when installing Zoom on that computer.  

    In System Preferences, Privacy & Security section, Privacy tab, ensure that LMGUIAgent is checked under "Screen Recording".    After that I could see the full desktop.

    Environment: M1 Mac Mini, macOS Big Sur host ; Windows 10 client.

    hello,

    just installed logmein pro on mac pro 11.5.2

    when I connect from another mac using the logmein client, I just get a desktop with no icons or apps.

    how can I get this client to work correctly?

    Same here, but on Mac! I've already contacted customer support, re-installed, and still issues. I've even tried on multiple OS' from Windows, macOS Big Sur, macOS Catalina, and iOS. 

     

    The re-install is temporary and works initially, but you are back to just the desktop and menu bar as the day goes on.  My only option now is to downgrade my iMac back to macOS Catalina and hope that fixes the issues. 

  • Same problem. I login from other Mac and see only Menu Bar and wallpaper. Everything in security settings  LogMeIn related is checked. Logmein App re-installed.

    Hi Anon127206 ,

    Sorry to hear about the LogMeIn behavior there. 

    Have you already gone through the basic troubleshooting of rebooting the host Mac, and/or re-installing the endpoint software?
