Blank the host's screen to allow status message..

Hello Ashley,

Unfortunately, not when the Host is on Windows 8/10. There's simply a different way the blank screen works on those systems.

As for Windows 7 and earlier, we'll see - perhaps we'll leave this feature for compatibility and not remove altogether.

Hello Ashley,

There is one problem. The new blank screen mechanism turns off the monitor itself.

Hi Ashley,

Understood. Give me some time, I'll discuss this with our developers to see if anything can be done about it.

Blank the host's screen = no local thumbnails?

Hi Ashley,

This is a side effect, unfortunately. And it only manifests itself when Windows 7 and older is used. Starting Windows 8 and higher a new monitor driver is used and hence no such effect.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Hello Ashley,

Thank you for your post.

Could be a bug. We'll check it out. What is the operating system on the remote and local PCs?

Hi PA,

By zip file you mean this one, the main "package" on the download page, correct? This is in fact just Viewer and Host zipped in a single file for convenience. You can as well download them separately below on the page.

Anyway, we'll take a look and contact Symantec regarding this issue.

This has already been implemented:

Self-hosted server solution page , see "Sync server role" section.

Also, you refer directly to the tutorial in the documentation about how to set up sync: https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/docs/setting-up-sync-server/

Hope that helps.

Hello,

Thank you for the suggestion. Did you try the Send message connection mode? Or are you looking for something else?
