It seems that nearly every time we shut down and update a PC, we have to manually (locally) "Start Host."  So, following a Windows update, Host isn't running and so we can't "Start Host" remotely (from a Viewer).  Is there a way to have Host restart after a Windows update?

Hello Bruce,

Thank you for your message.

Please make sure that your Host installation folder is added to the exception list of your antivirus/firewall software and ports used by Remote Utilities are allowed as described in this troubleshooting guide.
You can also try fully uninstalling and then re-installing Host following this guide.

If the steps above do not help and the issue persists, please let us know.
