Hello Adam,

The "Advanced Hint Window" does not show while hovering over an "online" connection unfortunately.

Yes, unfortunately, if the connection is simply "Online" you still would not be able to see the "preview" on the Advanced Hint window - in order to see it, you need to log in to the remote Host. You can also log in without starting a remote session right away - simply right-click on the preferred connection and select "Logon" or navigate to the Connection tab of the Viewer's ribbon toolbar and select "Log on" as described here. This will allow you to see preview of the remote screen in both - address book and in the Advanced Hint window without starting a remote session.

Hope that helps.

Hello Adam and David,

David, thank you for your input. I have just tested this out myself as well and can confirm that dragging and dropping connections works whether it's between local and synced address books or between different folders and sub-folders in the same book.

Adam, I'll forward the question regarding the address book location to our developers and will ask for their input on this to see if this can cause the issue or affect the address book functionality. I'll get back to you with their reply on this soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please let me know if you have more questions.

Hello Giovanni,

Thank you for your message.

Am I right in assuming that you have your mouse cursor set to Inverted colors in the Ease of Access -> Mouse pointer settings window?


Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Adam,

Thank you for your message.

Sorting connections between your address books via drag and drop is already possible. Please note that "All connections" section displays all your connections fr om all your address books that are currently added to your Viewer, i.e. if you currently have only "General address book" added to your Viewer (this is a default address book wh ere all connections get saved by default), then each entry displayed in the "All connections" section is already added to the "General address book". If you add a custom address book, whether a local or synced one, you're able to simply grab the connection entry from the Viewer's right panel, then drag it to the left navigation pane, to the preferred address book and folder.

Hope that helps.

Hello Adam,

Thank you for your message.

Do you mean the Advanced hint window? Unfortunately, being able to see previews for logged on connections only is expected behavior.

It would be nice to be able to ID a PC if it is actively being used or not via the preview, without logging on, as the logging on notifies the user, disturbing their work.

Thank you for your suggestion! We already have this feature in our wishlist - we plan to add an "idle time" feature to Viewer so techs would be able to see if the remote machine is being actively used or if it's idle and improve the thumbnail view in order to display more information on the remote Host as well. Unfortunately, we cannot provide any specific ETA on this yet.

Hope that helps.

Hello Adam,

Thank you for your message.

We do have the feature in our wish list, but unfortunately, we cannot provide any specific ETA on it yet. However, I'll additionally check on it with our developers to see if there are any updates on it.

Please let me know if you have mother questions.

Hello Feisal,

Thank you for your patience.

This is to inform you that we've contacted WatchGuard and submitted a False Positive report, so they can look into the issue and stop blocking Remote Utilities as soon as possible. As we're waiting for their reply, we recommend that you also submit a False Positive on their website here or you can contact your ISPs as well and ask them to request WatchGuard to look into the issue on their behalf.

I'll keep you updated on this and will let you know if there are any updates on this issue.

Hello Darryl,

Thank you for the information.

We've received a report from another user that WatchGuard is causing the same issue for them as well. We've contacted WatchGuard and submitted a False Positive report, so they could look into the issue and stop blocking access to our servers as soon as possible. As we're waiting for their reply, we recommend that you also submit a False Positive on their website here.

I'll keep you updated on this and will let you know if there are any updates on this issue.

We're already contacting the WatchGuard and we'll do our best to resolve the issue as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.
