iPad Extended Desktop not working

I have been happily using my new iPad Pro M2 with an external display to extend (not mirror) my desktop. However since updating to 16.4 last night my external monitor only mirrors the iPad screen.


Has Apple disabled this amazing feature or is there a new (and seemingly not obvious) way to set it up?

any news if this is fixed.

I've tried 4 different monitors, 2 with USB-C connection.
4K monitor from LG
and some HD monitors with the support of the Apple dongle to HDMI, but all I get is the mirroring option.



FYI, iPadOS 17.4.1 (released 21/3/2024) restores previous behaviour.


Unless directly interacting with Apps displayed on the external monitor, Stage Manager for a connected external display does not now require connection of a Keyboard and Wireless/Mouse Trackpad to the iPad.
