#1599 TightVNC - shareapp and sharewindow options not working

[jpnaidu]

I'm using TightVNC in my VM everything works fine until i use shareapp and sharewindow options.

When I use shareapp the entire screen goes black as shown below

Command used:

'C:/Program Files/TightVNC/tvnserver.exe' -controlservice -shareapp 8012

I double-checked the PID is correct and it is an instance of the calculator app.

And also when I use sharewindow the entire screen goes grey as shown below

Command used:

'C:/Program Files/TightVNC/tvnserver.exe' -controlservice -sharewindow CalculatorApp

The calculator app is up and running.

I'm using NoVNC on the client side.

Can someone if they faced a similar issue, Please Help?
