Teamviewer Remote Computer showing black instead of Login Screen - windows

I'm trying to connect to my remote server using teamviewer 12.0.81460. It used to work absolutely fine. But from past few days I see a black screen when I connect using TeamViewer(see attached screenshot). But when I move the cursor it starts showing some points on the screen but that's also not clear. One thing I noticed is that when I connect with remote desktop from another PC and bypass this login screen it works fine. But this login screen has some issue.
The solution I have tried so far:
Changing screen resolution
Disabling black screen on my TeamViewer Settings
Installing a lower version (11) on my PC but
it asks me to upgrade since
remote PC is running latest version.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know this is late, but i had the a similar issue where i was trying to connect from my windows computer to mac computer and got stuck at a black login screen. The workaround i have found to be useful is as follows:
Type the first letter of the account i wanted to login to
Press ENTER
type account
Press Enter
The screen was still black and shows anything until i reach step 4, it redirects me to the account! This was because although the screen was not working, the keyboard was working on remote computer.

No GUI with Centos 7 running on AWS

I am trying to get a GUI running on an AWS Centos 7 instance. Tiger vnc seems to run fine and I can get connected with the tigervnc viewer. However, all I get is a grey screen with 4 checkboxes in the upper right hand corner.
I installed Gnome and Server with GUI and I have tried changing my xstartup a hundred different ways, but I always get a grey screen. See the screenshot.
How can I get the gnome gui to work over my vnc session?
thanks
I found out that you will get this issue when using cPanel and WHM if you have the user in a jailed root. Open up the access and the full OS will load.
I would imagine that there is some way to work around this to keep a jailed root, but I am not a linux guru, so I don't know how to accomplish that.

About behavior of "Minimize" in case of Remote App when using Guacamole

We are using Guacamole for developing an application with RDP. We did POC using code from the following GitHub repositories:
https://github.com/wwt/guac
https://github.com/wwt/guac-vue
Configuration details are:
Windows Server 2016. RDP service is running here.
With this setup, we could successfully access the application remotely, however, the "minimize" action is not behaving as we expected. That is, the remote app window vanishes when we press the "minimize" button and a black screen is shown.
We could get back to the app by pressing 'Alt+Tab' combination but what we are expecting here is that the app getting placed at the bottom of the window showing three buttons: "Minimize, Restore and Close", so that we can take the further action. (As shown below.)
Has someone come across such a scenario and was able to address the need? Any help will be highly appreciated.
We came across this thread that talks about a similar problem but it doesn't have a solution.
We also explored official documentation of guacamole but had no luck.
Thanks in advance!
I believe you are starting the application using RemoteApp mechanism. The RemoteApp means that the remote application will be started integrated with the local computer desktop. The local computer desktop, or better window manager, will handle the minimise action.
In case of the Guacamole, the "local computer desktop" is the browser window, which does not have window manager. This means that there is no place for app to go when minimised.
You may try the Guacamole parameter "initial-program" instead of "remote-app". This parameter will launch the application immediately upon the connection is established, but the session will also have full desktop from the remote machine.

What is "ms-cxh-full://0.0.135.7"?

When I enter this "ms-cxh-full: //0.0.135.7" into my browser and open the program, a black screen appears.
Is there any other way to close this black screen other than restarting my PC and what kind of program is it and what can it do?
the ms-cxh-full:// link is the User OOBE Broker
It's a broken System link that shouldn't be accessible by users, but Microsoft messed up and left it in. If you don't recognize the protocol don't open it.
I tested the URL that you posted:
ms-cxh-full: //0.0.135.7
It started a black screen (as you said), but the screen disappeared after 2 seconds and the computer continued to function normally.
OS: Windows 10.0.19043.1202
Web browser: Microsoft Edge 93.0.961.38
Update your OS and change your web browser, and you'll have no problem.

Is a mouse click on a remote desktop possible using AutoIt or alternatives?

I want to write a script that involves mouse click and stuff. I am little confused though. Is there a way mouse clicks (in the form of x and y co-ordinates) would work on a VPS which is logged on, but disconnected from the client?
Example:
MouseClick("left",588, 268)
To my knowledge, these VPSes don't have their own native screen resolution. I have already written the script for my local pc and it's working fine on my resolution. But when tried with the VPS, it doesn't work.
PS: I am running the script from the remote desktop itself and not from my local pc. Please correct me if there's anything I am doing wrong :)
Update: For anyone still looking for an answer, consider installing a vnc server, that way the screen resolution you specify is preserved even when not connected to the server.
Ex: https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/vnc/
It's relevant to almost any automation tool, not only AutoIt.
Remote Desktop has its own GUI context only if it's connected to the remote PC. But you can lose focus for a Remote Desktop window (without disconnection & without minimizing) and continue other local work.
The same effect takes place for VNC server software.
One team in our organization uses it for massive test runs automation: a master server creates a remote session for each test machine and keeps them all connected until tests passes.
Use ControlClick to have the mouse click over RDP connections, even when you're not connected. For some reason it can still be iffy for me, but at least it worked more so that Click which was none at all.

Selenium Grid, Capturing Screenshots

Capture screenshot using selenium command captureScreenshottoText or capture screenshot works fine if display/monitor is ON
But if Monitor is OFF it captures blank/Black images
How to get Proper images when display is off
This happens when the session is locked out or when the machine goes to sleep mode. Workaround that we use is to make sure that the machine never goes into this state. You can find more details here on how to disable the screen lock - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/disableenable-lock-workstation-functionality-windows-l/
If you are connecting to a remote computer, use a VNC server/viewer to open your Selenium Server so that the display doesn't get killed. If you are using Remote Desktop, the display will close whenever you quit.
Connecting via VNC should fix your issues
