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 open...

    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  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?

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

    Run the un installer from the 

    CD /Library/Application\ Support/GoToMyPC/GoToMyPC.app/Contents/Helpers directory 

    sudo ./uninstall

     

    Once that's done, go into both screen recording and accessibility and remove (delete) the g2p_ and other goto authorizations. You may need to reboot after the uninstall to remove them.  Run the installer again.  Once complete, reboot again.  You'll get promoted to grant access again to g2p_ to screen recording and accessibility. 

     

    The above process is what solved my issues with GoToMyPC on my mac after an update to Big Sur.
