Hello Brian,

Thank you for your message.

It seems like the issue might be caused by some antivirus/firewall software activity or if some of the Host (or Agent) files were damaged by this type of activity. Please try the following:
1. Add the Host installation folder (or any other folder where you store and run your Agent from) C:\Program Files (x86)\Remote Utilities - Host\ to your antivirus software exceptions list.
2. Completely uninstall Host by following this guide (or fully remove Agent).
3. Restart the Host machine.
4. Download and install the latest version 7.1.2.0 of Host/Agent on this page.
5. Try starting Host or running Agent and see if the issue persists.

Hope that helps.
