Hello Benny,

Thank you for your message.

1. Version 7.5.1.0 Host on XP, same version Viewer on Windows 10, Windows 7, and latest IOS.
Viewer logs into host, will not connect with Full Control, or View Only. It goes as far as the world map page and just keeps trying to load remote screen. File transfer works, RDP works, and I do get a screen preview when hovering the mouse pointer over the address book entry. Full control and view only does work correctly if I revert host back to 6.10.9.0. This is repeatable.

Could you please try enabling the Use legacy capture mode feature in the Host Settings -> Other settings? After enabling the feature, please make sure to restart Host to apply changes.

2. Version 7.5.1.0 of Host and Viewer on all machines. After stopping host on viewer machine, I then right click on host in address book and choose Remote Settings. The dialog that comes up and shows that I am editing the host settings for the viewer machine, not the remote.

Could you please provide some more details on that? For example, can you compare the Internet-ID codes between the local and remote machines? Does this happen with a specific remote connection or all of them?

3. Wake on Lan using other hosts. I've experimented extensively with why this is not working as intended. With viewer up and running, and watching the intended target and the relay machine, I can confirm that the magic packet does in fact get to the relay machine, however it does not forward the magic packet to the intended target machine. Somewhere in between the relay machine and the target machine is where the bottleneck occurs.

Could you please double-check if the WoL feature is enabled on your target Host machine? You can check with this guide to see if it's enabled correctly. Also, are your relay Host machine and the target Host located in the same network and subnet?

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Julian,

Thank you for the update on the issue.

Could you please send us the most recent Host log files fr om your computer wh ere the issue occurs? Please make sure to install version 7.5.1.0 prior, so we can examine the log files.
You can send the logs to support@remoteutilities.com.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Julian,

Thank you for your message.

It seems like the access to our servers might be mistakenly blocked in your network (for example, this might occur if some antivirus software is blocking the access for our application).
Could you please try flushing DNS cache following the steps provided here and see if this might help to resolve the issue?
In addition, please make sure to add the Host installation folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Remote Utilities - Host\ to the exception list of any a/v software you might be using as described here.

Let us know if this helps.

Hello Gaz,

Thank you for your message.

Yes, we’ve definitely improved the auto reconnect mechanism in the past few updates. You can find more details on our Release Notes page.

Let us know if you have more questions.

Hello Gaz,

Thank you for your message.

This issue might be caused by an antivirus software blocking Host’s automatic startup upon the system start. Please make sure that you’ve added the Host installation folder to the a/v exception list following the steps provided here.
In addition, one of our users have shared a workaround for how to set up a delayed startup for Host service which might also help to resolve the issue. You can find more information on it here.

Hope that helps.

Hello Michael,

I'm glad to hear you were able to figure out the issue and it works for you now!

Please feel free to contact us again if you have any questions or need our assistance.

Thank you.

Hello Michael,

Of course, we're always happy to help!

Could you please let us know what exact version of Remote Utilities you're currently using? If it's any of the older versions or even the most recent stable version 7.2.2.0, could you please try updating to the currently available beta version release 7.5 and see if this might help to resolve the issue? You can download the beta version on this page.

Let us know if the issue persists even after updating.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for the clarification.

Could you please double-check whether your Host installation folder was already added to the antivirus software exception list as described here? Please make sure to do so even if you're using standard Windows Defender (or Windows Security) and see is this helps to resolve the issue.

Let us know if this helps.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please double-check if you have the Turn On Fast Startup feature as outlined in this guide and see if disabling it might help to resolve the issue.

Let us know if this helps.

Hello John,

Thank you for your message.

Do you mean that you’re getting the UAC prompt when trying to install Host? Could you send us a screenshot of the window that appears when you’re attempting installation? You can attach it here on the forum (just make sure to cover any sensitive information).

Looking forward to your reply.
