Description
If Windows 10 guest shares its screen with a remote user using the built-in "Quick Assist" utility, the other user sees a corrupted screen. Specifically, everything is slanted at a 45 degree angle (see screenshot). It looks like each horizontal row of pixels is offset slightly from the previous one.
HOST: Ubuntu linux 20.04, X-org, Intel graphics GUEST: Windows 10 64-bit
STEPS TO REPRODUCE: In some other Win10 machine (VM or real):
- Start the "Quick Assist" app.
- Click the "Assist another person" button at the bottom (sign in to a microsoft account if prompted) Note the "Security code" number displayed
In the Vbox VM Win10 guest:
- Start "Quick Assist"
- Enter the Security code in the "Code from assistant" box
RESULTS: The remote Win10 sees the VM guest's desktop in an unusably skewed form
