My Setup:

Windows 10 VM running in VirtualBox on Windows 7 Pro

Raspberry Pi 3 running Windows 10 IoT Core - 10.0.16299.19

The VM can see the RaspberryPi/Wionows IoT

I know this because:

  • On the VMI I can Install and Debug from Visual Studio 2017 to the Pi.
  • On the VM the IoT Dashboard detects the PI and allows me to change settings
  • On the VM I can access the Pi's Device Portal
  • On the VM I can use Powershell to log in to the Pi.

What I can't do is use Windows IoT Remote Client. Which I want so I can see changes produced by my code.

When I start the client I get the spinning buffer animation followed by a blank, white screen.

I have tried the following as recommended in web articles:

  • Reset the Pi resolution to 800x600 - This killed the Pi's ability to display at all; including on the attached HDMI.
  • Checked Enable Windows IoT Remote Server in Device Portal. - This is set to On
  • Disconnected the HDMI from the Pi - Made no difference.

  • Typed the following into an Admin level PowerShell:

    net start WinRM

    Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value PiName

    This allowed Powershell access but no change to Remote Desktop

What should I try next?

On version 16299,the Windows IoT Remote client does not work for Raspberry Pi. Please reference the know issue of release notes for Windows 10 IoT 16299.Currently you can attach a monitor for local display.
