Hello Pepa,
The primary reason is that the "driver method" is outdated and soon won't be supported by Windows at all. Besides, the new method is more versatile - namely, it will work on laptops without blocking out the brightness controls (whereas the driver method has such problem).
Yes, there are downsides like the degraded colors when you enable the blanking remote screen, but with further updates we'll see how we can improve that.

Hello ,
Thank you for your message.
Please, fully exit the Viewer, locate the folder %appdata%\Remote Utilities Files\ and delete the file config_4.xml. Then start the Viewer. This will re-create the configuration file and should help with the issue.

Hello Dave,
Thank you for your message.
Let me know if you have other questions.
Thank you for your message.
Yes.With a Free version of RU, will I be able to work from multiple Viewer workstations – one at a time?
No, you don't have to install both modules on each computer. Viewer and Host perform different tasks. Viewer is the admin/tech module with which you actually "work" when you are on remote session whereas the Host is a "listening" component installed on remote machines. Both modules are necessary for a remote session - each on its own side of a remote connection.And for each workstation, do I therefore need to have both Viewer and Host installed on each one?
Let me know if you have other questions.

Hello Ryan,
In this case please try restarting the remote computer if you haven't done that after Host installation.
Thanks.

Having the viewer allow clipboard sync and get/set remote clipboard is a risk for copying data. It is easy to turn off clipboard copy/paste with RDP using a group policy in windows. It is impossible to turn off clipboard copy/paste with RUT. This really should be a setting on the Host.
We have implemented clipboard control in Host settings in our most recent beta 2 downloadable from here . Feel free to download the beta and test it out.
Thanks.

Hi George,
Please, try generating another free license key https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/free.php and make sure that you are copying it from a plain text file/editor . For example, there were known issues with broken formatting when it was copied from Outlook mail.
Let me me know if it works. Thanks.
