Update 17.4 Issue with External Monitor

Having tested a fifth generation iPad Pro 12.9" updated to iPadOS 17.4, I can confirm that Stage Manager/Screen Mirroring with a connected external display is not operating as expected.

While the iPad screen will successfully mirror its screen to the external HDMI display, full screen (Stage Manager) is not enabled as expected when disabling Mirroring from the screen Arrangement settings.

I have verified this behaviour with both an Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter - and a Kingston Nucleum USB-C hub - both connected via HDMI to a compatible external monitor.

Repeating this test with an identical model iPad Pro, instead running iPadOS 17.3.1, the external HDMI display operates is full screen with Stage Manager as expected. Mirroring can be enabled/disabled with anticipated behaviour.

If you have not already done so, you would be best advised to submit a Bug Report via Apple's Product Feedback portal.

When submitting a Bug Report, ensure that you include details of your iPad model and installed version of iPadOS within the body-text of your report. Don't rely upon the pick-list - as this rarely includes the current versions. Having verified the bug, I too have submitted a supporting Bug Report to Apple.

External monitor stuck on Mirror mode with 17.4 - iPad pro 12.9 6th gen, worked fine on iPadOS 17.3.1, Bug report submitted

I'm using the iPad Pro 12.9 6th gen, and I can confirm this is the reason, you need an external mouse and/or keyboard for an external display to work.

I tried to reset my iPad Pro 11 M2 and guess what Apple now requires an External Keyboard and Mouse with Stage Manager per the Splash Screen below.

Bug report submitted, still stuck for me unfortunately

Same here, since ipad os 17 the extend screen is not working, yesterday with the 17.4 update I was hoping the fix arrived but it seems is not resolve this bug

Tested this with all accessories, extended display now work on iPadOS when a pointing device like mouse or drawing tablet is connected.

Feels restricting and cannot use KVM freely.

Just connected my Keyboard to the IPad as the mouse was already connected and the external monitor kicked into full screen. Nice one!

I’m still having the external monitor problem with my iPad 11” 3rd generation. The toggle switch doesn’t do a thing. Worked fine before the upgrade to 17.4.

Have you submitted the bug report as previously recommended? I can't stress this enough - every report counts.

I submitted a bug report as well.

Dosent work for me, direct connected visa usbc, using mouse only, worked before the upgrade

I experienced the same issue since a few days after having updated to ipados 17.4. Toggle switch doesn’t work at all. iPad Pro 11“ M1

I’ve never had any issues with connecting my iPad to the TV via HDMI until updating to iPadOS 17. Now, it doesn’t even give me the option to change the arrangement of the display hence it staying in Mirror mode the entire time. Has there been any updates to this, please? I have an iPad Pro 11, 3rd gen on iPadOS 17.4.1.

Anything I’ve missed here? Thanks!
