I have used it to remotely help my sister. My experience with it is meh. When I go to control the remote machine, it frequently stops responding to my mouse and keyboard inputs, and I have to ask my sister to click on stuff for me.

It is hideously expensive and I am a very small company, just me, and 2 clients left. I am winding it all down.

But there is a free version.

Only free for private usage, not for comercial / professional one.

Here I am envious that you have your own company, and you say you're winding it down. What's wrong with you?

I'm 72, have been doing it since 1977, and I am tired. I do custom Desktop programs for distributors.

Write something for yourself that you like. I liken it to whittling (with the app store in mind). In the process, I've become somewhat versed in Napoleonic battle field tactics.

Do you already have someone to pass it on ?

I am 54, in a similar boat, but not winding down.
I have a small number of boutique clients.
If you are interested in passing this on to someone, I would love to help.
I can provide you a couple of client references from clients that have been with me for 20+ years!
I do use Paid TV, and I like that you HONOR the restriction on the licensing model!

Is remote desktop not an option?
I know you log off the remote user, but if you are going to take over anyways...
As long as you don't log off, you can just close the RD window with your mouse and everything continues running in the background, then the local person logs in and can continue where you left it.
You might want to have a look here [^] too, VNC would be a nice option (I have used it a while and did everything I needed).

Had been using that but need to share screen with my users to troubleshoot and train them.
Also their Network security is a problem.

Is Teams allowed to be a contender?
You can do remote desktop sharing, I know it works well enough, and I'm pretty sure I've seen options to let others take over to control the system whose screen is shared. But the other person has to be there to click and approve the request; it's not one of those systems that lets you connect and control when there's nobody at the other end.

Look at AnyDesk. I've switched to it long time ago and never looked back.

Thanks for the tip, I will.

Anydesk works very well, I use it often.

RealVNC is a great alternative. I have used it extensively to control remote stations and never had a problem.

How much do they charge ? I have always wondered - their software is really good. I am using the free version to remote access the server of the local school ( I am the hobby IT support there).

Anydesk works very very well.
In case this is not suitable for you, there is the already included in windows "Quick assist" which is slow, but it works.
Hope this helps! ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)
