FAQs and Support

Should I turn off (i.e. Shut Down) my computer when I'm done working?

No. If you turn off your workstation, you will not be able to remote in per the instructions above.

Can I restart my computer if something isn't working correctly?

Yes. A restart of your computer is okay but you will need to wait for it to go down and start up again before you can reconnect with Remote Desktop
