Hi All,

This might be too niche of a question, but I'm optimistic...

I have a GPU that is properly passing through to my windows VM. I do not connect a monitor to this system. I want to run a steam link (streaming set top box) off of this machine.
However when I connect to it it shows that "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" 0 bytes of ram.

Both display adapters are listed in the device manager. I'm not sure why the Basic Display exists, but steam seems to thing that it is the primary display.

Any idea how to get rid of the Basic display, I did try to simply disable it.
 
for the vm to use the passed through gpu as primary gpu, you have to add ',x-vga=on' to the hostpci entry, but this removes the virtual gpu and makes novnc not possbile (but you could still use remote desktop or a similar screensharing tool inside the vm)

edit: added 'as primary gpu'
 
Yesterday I had connection problems. For some hours, the gaming platform steam has been struggling with significant problems. The user is made aware of this by the failed login, in which the network connection should be checked. But the mistake is not sitting at home in front of the PC but lies with the provider.
 
I downloaded both Mafia 3 and NBA 2k18 yesterday. Played them both completely fine. Now today the damn games won't even launch from steam! It's ridiculous!
I've uninstalled, verified files, uninstalled and reinstalled steam. Then games still nothing! NONE of my games run!
 
The issue may be caused by very small problems in your system that are caused by any other program or process. First, optimize your troubleshooting and check first of all if Steam is down link. I had my issue resolved through this the clear guide on the internet.

Hope it helps!
