    Upon connecting external monitors with my laptop i am unable to right click any where on the desktop. Icons are also gone and desktop hotspot are not functional.This means all the functions available with right click on desktop are also not available. i.e change wallpaer , new folder etc.

    How many external monitors do you have? dde-desk clashes when there are 3 or more monitors connected to your system.

    Here is the related issue

    I have 2 external monitors, I think the issue could be with scaling as the laptop has 4K resolution and monitors only support HD.
    But in 4k everything is very tiny on laptop screen, and even after changing laptop to HD after reboot it does not save the settings.

    I not sure if it is related to 4K since I don't have a 4k monitor.

    In my case, DDE works if I only connect one external monitors, which has a different resolution, to my laptop, but it fails if I connect two external monitors to my laptop.
    Regarding the HiPI, it will be addressed in the 15.5 in this month according to Deepin's roadmap.
