Beta testing: Remote Utilities for Windows

Support level: Free or trial
Ok! Thank you!
Downloading was not the problem. It happened after unpacking.
I cannot open Microsoft Store (I do not why, has nothing to do with your link), so I cannot verify if the problem is solved via store

Beta testing: Remote Utilities for Windows

Support level: Free or trial
Hello everybody!
Found Remote Utilities only a few days ago and wanted to give it a try.
But while installing the host was not a big problem I couldn't find a way to install the viewer. As soon as the msi was unpacked it vanished from my computer without any message. Seems as if windows defender regards it as threat - but it doesn't give a hint that it did something.  
While searching for a solution I came across this beta.
And Tadaa! It works!
I have some problems when connecting to the "remote". The indication why a connection failed is a little poor. But after some retries finally I got connected. But then everything is fine. Working on the displayed desktop for one of my (yet) three remote machines is even better than directly. Really! Something is wrong with the USB mouse on this computer.
But I do not like that the connection is not established or freezes if the lid of the laptop is closed. For unattended remote access this is a bit hindering.
But besides that and up to now - good work!
