Hello Tristan,

Thank you for your post and the details.

When running RU Viewer, I regularly get a complete loss of internet on my machine. I cannot access the internet from ANY program/app (browsers, RU Viewer etc). I am still connected to the WiFi, but it's as if there is no connection to the outside world. The timing varies, but on average RU will work perfectly for about 10 mins before the whole thing cuts out!

Is it only if you run the Viewer (the app) or actually log in/connect to a remote computer with it?

For now I can recommend that you reset the DNS resolver cache on the Win 10 computer and see if it fixes the issue. Hit Win + R and type the following command:

ipconfig /flushdns

then hit Enter.

Let's see if it helps.

Hello Shawn,

I have all permissions enabled in RU Server config for my NT user.

You probably mean Host rather than RU Server.

Restarting the remote machine should fix the issue.

Hello Shawn,

Thank you for your post.

Could it be that you accidentally enabled "Lock remote input"? This feature can be enabled in the Full Control mode toolbar by clicking on the lock icon.

Hello Mark,

Not at all :) Here is the link, the same as before.

Or did you mean another link and page? Please, let me know. If there is a 404, I will make sure it is fixed asap.

Thank you.

Hello John,

Thank you for your  post.

How can I configure the system so that after the Host is re-booted it will re-connect to the Viewer?

I'm afraid there is a contradiction. You mentioned that you needed unattended support and yet you set the Host service to start manually. With that setting on the Host won't start after the reboot unless someone on the remote side starts it (Windows Start menu -> Start Remote Utilities Host).

Perhaps, what you are really looking for is the Ask User Permission option. When this option is enabled the remote user's explicit consent is required to actually start a remote session even if the Host service starts automatically with Windows (which is the default option).

Hello Mark,

Thank you for your post.

In the Viewer interface you can set scaling (see options on the toolbar - Normal, Stretch etc.) that is you can shrink the remote image to fit the bounds of your Viewer monitor. However, if you want to change the very resolution of the remote screen you will have to do that on the remote desktop itself, that is by accessing the Windows "Display settings" menu.

In the future though we might add an option to change the remote screen resolution from within the Viewer.

Albert,

There is yet another thing if you want a clean re-install. Please, close the Viewer and erase the entire folder  \%appdata%\Roaming\Remote Utilities Files\ then start the Viewer again.

Warning: your address book file/files are in that folder, specifically the general address book (connections_4.xml) and maybe other books that you created. I recommend that you copy these books elsewhere for importing later after you've finished.

Hope that helps.

Hello Albert,

Thank you for your post.

but every new MSI i've configured is giving me this same error when i try to add by code.

I recommend that you add the Viewer's %APPDATA% folder to your antivirus software exceptions first. Perhaps the keys.dat file is getting corrupted or deleted by a/v software each time it is created by Remote Utilities.

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Yes, unfortunately this might be a side effect of using the monitor driver. So if you do not absolutely need it (i.e. for the blank remote screen feature) you are advised to disable it.

If the Host has already been installed the monitor driver can be un-installed from within the Host settings:

Hello Erik,

Unfortunately, you cannot do that in Remote Utilities alone. I'm sure there is software though that allows you to run certain applications on certain local monitors.
