2 Windows PC's on same local network with Remote utilities hosts on each PC. Each PC has its own RU ID. When i login to 1st PC then log out. Login to 2nd PC, it re-connects to 1st PC, not 2nd PC. I am using RU Host and Viewer 7.1.2.0. Windows 10 on both PC's. Any thoughts?
Hello Scott,

Thank you for your message.

This issue might be occurring if the address book file was somehow damaged/corrupted (perhaps, by some antivirus/firewall software activity). Please try removing both connections from your address book and re-adding them once again to see if this helps to resolve the issue.

In case if re-adding the connections doesn't help, please try removing your address book file connections_4.xml from the following folder: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Remote Utilities Files\. This will clean up your current default address book. Before deleting the file please make sure to fully exit Viewer by clicking File -> Exit.
Then please try restoring your address book from an automatically created backup by following this tutorial.

Hope that helps.
