  5. Compare RemotePC with TeamViewer and know how RemotePC offers a better remote access solution.

1. Is Your Remote Desktop Enabled

I know, you must have already checked that when you got the error. However, for those of you who haven’t yet checked, here’s how you can check.

Type remote settings in the Start Menu. That will display an Allow remote access to your computer card on your PC. Click on it to open the System Properties.

Here, check the ‘Allow Remote Assistant ..’ checkbox under Remote Assistance. At the same time, you’d want to tick off the checkbox under ‘Allow remote connections .’ to allow connections to your system.

Once done, hit the OK button to save your settings.

2. Check Firewall Settings

Next, check if Remote Desktop is enabled in the Windows Defender Firewall. To do so, type firewall in the Start menu.

Now, select the Windows Defender Firewall option and tap on the ‘Allow an app or feature’ option on the right panel.

That will show you all the apps and features currently on your system. All you have to do is tap on the Change Settings button to activate the panel below.

Scroll down and see if the check for Remote Desktop is enabled. If not, check the box beside it.

3. Check the Windows Registry

The Windows Registry is a good place to check if all the keys and values related to Remote desktop have their values set accordingly.

However, proceed with caution with the Windows Registry contains since it contains all the configurations used by your Windows PC. So you may want to take a backup of the registry values before you make any changes.

To open the Registry, type regedit on the Start menu and the Registry tool will show up almost immediately. Tap on it and click OK on the confirmation pop-up.

Next, navigate to the path below:

4. Is It a DNS Issue?

Is your remote desktop connection switching on and off and redefining the term intermittent? If yes, it’s time to take a peek at the DNS server to which the computer or the host is configured.

By default, a simple nslookup command in the Command Prompt will give you the DNS server and IP address that your system is currently using.

In our case, we’ll tweak it to see to rule out the case of two different DNS records. To do so, open Command Prompt and enter the following command:

Of course, you can use any website. If you’re getting the same results, you can safely say that everything is in order. But if not, you may want to ask your internet provider to solve this issue.

5. Check the RDP Services’ Status

Also, have you taken a peek at the status of all the services related to the Remote Desktop client?

Start by typing services.msc on the Start menu which will open the Windows Services.

Scroll down the list until you see the services related to Remote Desktop. Here, you just have to make sure that none of the services have the Status or Startup Type as Disabled.

To make any changes, right-click on any of the services, and all the options will be there for you to see.

6. IPv4 or IPv6?

Last but not least, check the default protocol of your network adapter. Usually, Windows PC prefers IPv6 over the older version. However, at times, this may cause the RDP client to stop working. Thankfully, the fix is pretty easy.

All you have to do is head over to the Network and Internet settings. Once inside, navigate to Ethernet, and you’ll see the option for Change Adapter options on the right panel.

Select it and right-click on an adapter of your choice. Now, select Properties. Here, you’ll see a long checklist. All you need to do is look for the Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) option and once you locate it, uncheck and save the settings.

Restart your PC for the changes to take effect.

All Set for Remote Connectivity?

Hopefully, the above solutions should work well for you. But if not, you can try your hand at some third-party tools like Chrome Remote Desktop or Team Viewer. The free version of Team viewer lets you connect to other systems, share files and audio clips, among other features.

Get Team Viewer

The only catch is that the system on the other end should also have the Team Viewer software installed.

Top 7 Fixes for an App Default Was Reset Notification Error in Windows 10

So the other day, I was troubleshooting an issue on my friend's PC using TeamViewer. And much to my annoyance, I realized that there was no sound coming from the other side. If it was an issue that didn't require audio, I would have gladly let it go. But as luck would have it, it was a VLC-related issue for which explicitly needed audio.

In situations such as these, the sound settings are the usual culprits. It can be either related to the individual module (Remote Control or Meeting), or to the program which you are running on the other person's machine.

So, in this post today, we cover both the aspects and show you how to enable audio in TeamViewer on Windows 10 computers.

Audio in Remote Control Sessions

Step 1: Once you have opened Team Viewer, go to the main window and click on Extras > Options.

Step 2: Click on Remote control (third option from the top) and check the 'Play computer sounds and music' option under the Remote control defaults section.

For audio to function normally remote control sessions, the above option needs to stay enabled on both the computers.

However, if you are still facing issues in playing sound from other applications like VLC, a peek into the audio settings of VLC should get it working.

In the VLC, Click on Tools > Preferences and select the Audio tab. Once in, go to the Output section and click on the drop down option menu to set the output module as WaveOut audio output. Select speakers and hit OK.

Audio in Meetings

Thankfully, in TeamViewer Meetings, the audio settings are located right on the meeting interface. Meaning that you don't have to leave the screen to rummage through the settings.

Once you've started a meeting, tap on the Cog icon in the Screen Sharing card. Select Share computer sounds and music. That's it. The participants on the other side will be able to hear the audio almost immediately.

Just be sure to keep the microphone turned off when you are not speaking. Wait, that's not all.

More TeamViewer Tricks

1. Record Sessions Automatically

Did you know that you can record Remote Control sessions automatically? Yep, you read that right. This trick is useful if you often forget to tap on the Record button.

All you have to do is go to Extras > Options > Remote control and check the option for automatic screen recording. This way, you won't have to bother about tapping on the record button every time you start a session.

2. Optimize Speed

If only remote sessions (and video calls) could be as seamless and crystal clear as they show in the movies. Unfortunately, reality and expectations are very much different. A little lag is somewhat acceptable, but it can get quite annoying at times when the cursor seems to move in fits and bursts.

Thankfully, this can be fixed to an extent by optimizing the speed. Click on View and select Optimize speed. Also, if you have a bad or slow connection, a click on Optimize Quality will also help.

3. Set up a Confirmation Box

The default settings of TeamViewer allows full access to your computer when you join a Remote Control session. But if you'd want the tool to ask for your permission (before you give the control), it can also be done.

To do so, you'd need to head over to the Advanced options (Extras > Options) and search for the 'Advanced settings for connection to this computer' card. Under Access control, select Custom settings and click on Configure.

Click on the drop down menu for Control this computer option and select After confirmation. That's it!

4. Reboot like a Pro

If you have to reboot the client machine, we all know that the standard action of tapping on the Restart button will close TeamViewer. And you'd have to reopen the connection to see whether the changes have taken effect. Well, we have a shorter way for you.

Click on Action on the Toolbar and select Reboot.

Note: This process will work seamlessly only if the machine on the other side doesn't have the Windows Log on with password enabled.

Take Remote Sessions like a Pro

Undoubtedly TeamViewer has simplified remote access and is compatible across multiple platforms. And is available for free. Plus, it allows for multiple remote sessions. Unless you're using it as part of a support program, remote assistance is not something that one needs on a daily basis. For me, it's usually reserved for helping my father with his somewhat ancient system.

What about you? How often do you have to use TeamViewer and which features do you tend to use often?
