Device bridge not working

[Roman79]

While connecting two computers in Device bridge mode I get "like" two seperated monitors divided in the middle of the screen. There is no option to "drag from one PC to another also I need to use two seperated keyboards and mices. One for each PC.

Any idea what to do to be able use only one mice and drag/drop from one pc to another?

I have a HP E45c-G5 monitor.

Sometimes it works just fine with my two laptops hooked up via the USB-C connections into the monitor, and i am able to use just one mouse and one keyboard to control both. Pretty cool!

But sometimes when one of the laptops goes to sleep and I wake it up by shaking the mouse, the mouse gets stuck on the one side that didn't go to sleep and I can't get it back across the centre line to the other screen without re-booting both laptops. That is a pain.
Roman - assume you had Device Bridge 2.0 installed on both computers? Are you connected via the USB-C connections from the back of the monitor to each computer?

Thanks Brian.

Yes, I have both computers installed with device brudge 2.0, they are also connected with DP and Hdmi and additional usb-c to usb-c/a to each computer.

HP support has no solution jet for over a month  😞. I'm now discussing with level 3 of their support.

I also tried to connect two borrowed laptops. Both HP. And it still didn't work.

This should be just something software relating but looks like they don't have a solution jet.

I am having the same problem with the HP E45c G5. I'm very disappointed because this functionality is why I bought the monitor; it fit my use-case perfectly (in theory). Why isn't HP fixing this!? Maybe social media is a better way to get their attention. I'm not sure.

Well there is over three months sending emails back and forwards but still not working 😕
