Host running CentOS7.9 with tigervnc-server-1.8.0-22.el7.x86_64.
When guest is Windows 11 with tightvnc-2.8.75, every VNC connection is black-screen.
Switching back to tightvnc-2.8.63, every VNC connection works as expected.

    Had the counter to this were tiger vncviewer would drop connection to new tightvnc server. Issue was to drop if resize failed. Did get sent an test version tightvnc-2.8.77-gpl-setup-64bit.msi and installing it fixed that issue. Isn't listed on download site yet. But perhaps soon, or even newer version.

    We encountered the same issue of a black screen with TightVNC version 2.8.75. After switching back to "tightvnc-2.8.63-gpl-setup-64bit" the connection worked.
    In our case we, connected to a headless RPi running tigervnc v1.9.0
    Real problem when you tell users to download the latest from the official TightVNC site to avoid distributing packages and keeping copies.
