Hello Robert,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please confirm that you can't connect to any Host machine located in this specific office? Are all of these Host computers connected to the Internet via the same ISP?

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Solved it by uninstalling various .NET framework updates (KB5012117, KB5010472) and preventing them to be reinstalled by using the "wushowhide.diagcab" tool from Microsoft.

Thank you for your contribution and input. I'm sure this might help other users who might experience similar issues.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Hello Edgaras,

Thank you for your message.

Please make sure that your remote Hosts are also updated to the latest version 7.1.2.0 as well since it will not be possible to connect to Hosts of version 6 using Viewer registered with a free license key or running in a trial mode. For more information on this please see this page.
In order to update your remote Hosts, please download the installation file for the latest version of Host on this page, run it on the remote Host machine and follow the steps provided by the wizard.

Hope that helps.

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your updates on the issue.

I've forwarded the Windows Event log information to our developers - hopefully this might help to speed up the issue resolution.

I'll keep you all updated on the issue.

Hello Matthew and John,

Meanwhile, it seems like we finally were able to reproduce the issue. We will continue testing it out in order to implement a fix in our future updates.

I'll let you know if there are any updates on this issue.

Hello Matthew and John,

Could you please check and let us know what was the last Windows update installed right before the issue started occurring, i.e. its specific name? You can check this in the Windows Update Center - we will try once again to reproduce the issue in our environment, even though we haven't received other reports on any similar issues.
In addition, could you please try uninstalling one of the Hosts in question completely as described here, including deleting the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Usoris\Remote Utilities Host\ registry key and the C:\Program Files (x86)\Remote Utilities - Host\ folder and then re-installing Host from scratch to see if this helps to resolve the issue? Please let us know if this works.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your messages.

Yes, David is absolutely correct, it's possible to lock the remote machine's keyboard and mouse input via the Connection Properties menu. Unfortunately, there's no faster one-click solution for this yet. However, you can also invoke the Connection Properties menu within the Full Control session window via the Ctrl+F12 keyboard shortcut. You can also change the default hotkey combination in the Viewer's Option -> Hotkeys tab.

Hope that helps.

Hello,

I'm glad to hear you've figured out the issue and it works for you now!

Please feel free to post another message if you have more questions.

Hello John,

I'm glad to hear it works for you! Matthew, thank you for your contribution.

Please feel free to let us know if there are any updates on this issue or if you have more questions.

I'll let you know as soon as I get any update on the issue from our development department.

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

Please try launching Viewer via Terminal by typing in simply "Viewer" instead of "remote-utilities-viewer" when launching it and see if it works this way. In addition, please note that if Viewer is installed in a directory added to your "$PATH" variable, Linux will search $PATH for the program and launch it automatically. In case if the installation directory is not added to $PATH, please try specifying the location by navigating to it inside the Terminal via the "cd " command.
Alternatively, please also consider running Viewer via its respective icon instead.

Please let us know if you have more questions.
