Title: Teamviewer Lock on Session End
Post by: Darknessdanielc on February 12, 2013, 04:10:19 AM
Hi

I know the "Lock on session end" is a great feature in the new release, but how to I default it to off? I trust all the computers I connect to, they are friends' or relatives' computers, so it's getting quite annoying actually having it lock after I'm done helping them (Or even after connecting to one of my own computers). I know I can work around it by going to Actions > Lock and unchecking "Lock on session end", but at the moment I'm having to click that for every single session I'm on.

Let me know if I can turn this feature off by default, or please implement it in the near future!

Daniel

I do not see a reason to request private assistance on this via a support ticket.  The answer should be for everyone to see and can just as easily be posted here as in a private session.

In order to get the answer for everyone, I have requested Teamviewer tech support to "Please answer the problem described at http://teamviewerforums.com/index.php?topic=1668.0."

Tech support has responded with this non-answer:

"You can disable this feature by going to Actions-> Lock Computer within the connection. Please make sure that this option is not checked."

Yes, we know that.  But we want to set this option to "not checked" by default, so we do not have to uncheck it every time we use TV.

That used to be true and I hope it remains the intent.  Support hasn't caught on yet to the fact that it is now broken or if they have or if the intent has changed they apparently don't want to address that.  It breaks my work flow and is driving me nuts.

The silence makes me fear that the change is a knee jerk to "enhance security" and is entirely intentional.  Regardless of what the case may be they are being irresponsible in failing to address it.

Randomly turning on the lock does not enhance safety.  It is a bug.
Title: Re: Teamviewer Lock on Session End
Post by: ERS on March 04, 2013, 09:28:03 AM

I inquired about random turning on of lock on session end, this is the response i received:

Thank you very much for your message.
It is not likely that it is turning on or off randomly, it is entirely based on the state of the computer when you connected to the system.
If you've connected to the system while it was locked or at windows login screen, the option will always be on by default if this is not desirable, please disable the option after you connect. You will of course see it enabled again if the system is again at a locked screen on the next connection.
If you've connected to the system while it was unlocked you should not be seeing the option to lock on session end unless the option was selected at some other point.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

Best regards,
Andrew Kamback

The response from Teamviewer is incorrect.  The lock turns on randomly, regardless of the state of the computer when I connect to it.  I most certainly do not connect to the computer while is was locked or while it is at windows login screen.

The first suggestion is absurd; if the computer were locked, I could not get into it with Teamviewer in the first place.  If Teamviewer has locked it, I enter the password and then uncheck the option for locking upon leaving.  Randomly, Teamviewer again locks it anyway.  I come back the next day to find it locked.  This happens on several computers, not just one.

So Teamviewer offers no solution to this problem.

Wow they just can't provide a straight answer can they? :p Anyway I'm as frustrated as you are but at least we've alerted them to this issue, if they can't provide a workaround at the moment let's hope it's fixed in some future update..

Happened again today.
Title: Re: Teamviewer Lock on Session End
Post by: getmeek on March 10, 2013, 08:54:15 PM
Many times today.  In fact, on one of my remote computers, it happens every time.  That is, whenever I connect, the line is checked for Lock on Session End.  Every time.  I uncheck it and stop the connection.  When I start it again, again that line is checked for Lock on Session End.  So I have to uncheck it again.  I have to uncheck it at the end of every session to avoid having the remote computer locked.

Please allow a default to be set to NOT Lock on Session End.

This option just pisses me off to no end. Every damn time. I connect to a lot of computers because my friends are complete idiots when it comes to technology. Even something as simple as downloading is too hard.

Now, please, give us anything to turn this off.

(also, wow, these forums.. registering is REALLY hard because you have to go back and forth in between pages, rather than instantly giving you an answer that something's not right. And PLEASE, do not send the password to your e-mail. How dumb cna you be? Security security security.)

Interesting observation about the lock on disconnect:
Today after logging into a friends account an checking a couple things, i UNchecked, "lock on disconnect"
I then rebooted (remotely) the machine and found, that Lock on disconnected was once again, checked.
As it happens, her windows account is a standard user account and i need to switch to an administrator account to complete a task.
After i logged into the administrator account, i looked and "lock on disconnect was CHECKED" so i unchecked it, rebooted and logged into the standard user account..
lock on disconnect was still unchecked and it seems to be staying that way.

I wonder or it seems if it is necessary to UNcheck "lock on disconnect" while in an administrator account in order for it to "stick"

Lock on Session End continues to occur randomly on my remote computers.  I am the administrator of all of them and am always in an administrator account, so that is not the problem.

I have the opposite problem. I want lock on session end to ALWAYS occur but it seems to randomly NOT occur even when checked. LOL.

I registered specifically to complain about this new feature.  Like many others, this new default setting really destroys my work flow and I use Teamviewer alot.  90% of my work is done using remote connection.

I don't want Teamviewer to believe that this issue has gone away.  I am another customer that your new default setting has really affected negatively.  The way it is now implemented is having a definite negative impact.

Surely this setting can have a checkbox type of affair.  The customer decides whether to implement the lock by placing a checkmark in the box or removing it and it stays that way permanently until the customer decides to change it.  The software is NOT doing a good job of it automatically. 

Make sense, let the customer decide whether or not they want to implement it.

It holds for me.
Title: Re: Teamviewer Lock on Session End
Post by: getmeek on August 29, 2013, 05:38:55 PM
Whenever I see that the lock has spontaneously been engaged for session end, I uncheck the box and exit.  Next time I go to that remote, the box has checked itself back on.  That is the problem.

I submitted a trouble ticket 7 months ago.  Here is the incompetent response:

"As a default this option is not active. When you activate the option to lock on session end it will save this option. Once this is active it will also carry to the mobile devices, and can only be disabled on a machine."

I responded: "That is simply not true.  I have never checked "lock on session end" to be on.  It turns itself on, randomly.  I never use mobile devices."

I have not received a reply during the ensuing 7 months.

Interesting to see this thread. I complained about it on the Mac TV forum a few months ago (Mac controlling remote Windows machine). Pretty aggravating, and ongoing. I get the impression that "Lock on Session End" does indeed turn on semi-randomly, but it also appears to default that way when the remote computer is rebooted. It's not a huge deal, as it just means that the remote computer is left in a logged-off state and someone needs to log back in, but it means that the remote user finds it that way. For me, the remote computer is in a secure location, so there is simply no reason to log the user off. I guess this is mainly surprising given that TV is in other respects a quality product. Now, if it's really true that the system doesn't always default to "Lock on Session End" when you tell it to, that's a major issue for people concerned with security.

Add me to the list of users this really annoys. I setup my computers for remote tasks and use teamviewer to manage them, and the lock screen often interrupts tasks in the middle of execution.

There's a simple solution:
Title: Re: Teamviewer Lock on Session End
Post by: Admin on February 18, 2015, 04:35:08 PM
according to a post on the teamviewer facebook page that has been running for a long time...

Thank you for the message. You can change the “Lock remote computer” settings in TeamViewer under Extras | Options | Advanced | Advanced settings for connections to other computers | Lock remote computer: Always / Never / Automatic. Please note that this setting is available for TeamViewer for Windows. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at any time.

so apparently if you change that setting  on your system it should prevent it from locking any (windows) computer you connect to.

But will it allow the remote computer(s) to be locked - when the user wishes it to be?
'Never' sounds final. As does 'Always'.
Let's see..

On the Toolbar at the top of the screen under the Actions drop down select the Lock item and you have the option to lock the remote computer immediately or to lock it on session end. Is this what you are looking for?
Title: Re: Teamviewer Lock on Session End
Post by: Danl on February 27, 2015, 04:31:43 PM
I *think* that setting the remote computer under "Advanced Settings" to "Never" "Lock Remote Computer" seems to help keeping it from locking itself at random, but TV on the remote computer still is in "lock" mode when it is rebooted (as in when the Win7 system automatically does an upgrade). That kinda sucks.
Title: Re: Teamviewer Lock on Session End
Post by: tv-oh-admin on March 03, 2015, 08:31:38 AM
Sorry i should have been more clear. I was saying that i'm not seeing the option to disable auto lock in version 9 under the advanced options. I can post a screenshot if that would help.

We have 4 corporate licenses and have debated upgrading to version 10, but the continual version upgrades haven't really added many features but have a huge added cost for a tool that is working.
Title: Re: Teamviewer Lock on Session End
Post by: Admin on March 03, 2015, 11:02:04 AM
im still unclear as to what you want...you just say the feature isn't there.  Do you want it?  Are you having a problem with auto lock?  do you not want it to auto lock, do WANT it to autolock?  What is your goal?

"if it aint broke..."
Title: Re: Teamviewer Lock on Session End
Post by: tv-oh-admin on March 03, 2015, 12:19:35 PM
I was hoping to disable the auto lock feature that is part of teamviewer now. I had followed steps included the quote you posted, but did not see the option listed when looking at my advanced settings. Hoping others would know how to find this feature as it wasn't visible to me with version 9.

I have been having issues ever since upgrading to teamviewer 10. In my advanced settings I have "Lock remote computer" set to Never but it still occasionally locks the remote computer when the session disconnects. The strange thing is that it is not consistent. Some times it will lock the computer and other times it wont. Beginning to wish I would have never updated to version 10 :/
Title: Re: Teamviewer Lock on Session End
Post by: Stevardi on March 24, 2015, 08:10:42 AM
Still getting this problem randomly.  I have set it to never lock but it still does.  I have the app on my phone as well to test, if I force close the app without clicking session end it locks every time.  Then I reconnect and this time click session end and it closes without lock but then sometimes it just randomly locks again for no reason and it would not forget it was locked and stays locked.

This is with it set to NEVER...seriously this is the most annoying thing and should never happen.  I cannot understand how they cannot replicate this bug and how it is not fixed after 2 years?

Hi there.

For what it's worth, I can confirm with complete accuracy that it's random.l  It's happened to me for a while now.  It happens on at least two computers that I connect to that never require a login on startup or resume.  I'll connect with TeamViewer fine for a while and then, completely randomly with nothing changing on the computer, it'll switch to "lock on session end".

+1

New user here, but I am having the exact same issue for the past several months. Every once in a while, the "Lock on Session End" option turns itself back on. This locks out my client's screen, and I get angry phone calls! I am going to switch to using LogMeIn unless TeamViewer acknowledges this as a bug, and fix the issue. I may even suggest removing this feature entirely.

I've tried contacting TeamViewer through Social Media (Facebook) and I get the same unintelligent response of telling me to go to Menu and unchecking the option.

Please, fix or get rid of this feature... If people need to lock the screen, they can easily do so manually. But forcing an unintended action upon the user can lead to disasters.

Post by: Danl on May 24, 2016, 03:02:35 PM
Remember that the little lock under the X disconnect button at top means Lock on Session End is enabled. So when you press that X button, it's up to you to see if there is a little lock icon there before you disconnect. Before I realized that, I never knew if it would lock up or not when I disconnected. So it's atrocious that TeamViewer can't do anything about this, but it's not hard to avoid getting locked.

Title: Re: Teamviewer Lock on Session End
Post by: Danl on July 26, 2016, 09:15:03 AM
The problem isn't that you can't unlock it. That's trivial to do. The problem is that it randomly decides to Lock on Session End, such that you get logged off on the remote machine. Never seen any explanation for that. Ideally, one could set "NEVER LOCK ON SESSION END!!!" in preferences, but you can't do that. As I noted above, when you're connected, just pay attention to the little lock marker under the X disconnect icon at top. That means that when you disconnect, it's going to log you out. If you see that lock marker, and you don't want to be logged out, then go into Actions->Lock Computer and uncheck that box that it decided to check for you. The point is that although it does it randomly, you have no excuse for being surprised at having been logged out.

Hello all -- I've been a heavy (registered) user of Teamviewer since version 5. I too have suffered with the random (yes, it is random) behaviour of Lock on Session End. Recently, I upgraded to version 11, thinking that maybe they had finally fixed this ridiculous problem that has been there through many versions -- I was wrong!

Now, not only do I experience the random locking behaviour, I can't even turn it off! The option is greyed out. I have attached a screenshot.

Yup, they fixed it real good!

just to throw my experience in as well, i have noticed this happening only recently.  i thought it was a bug with the way some of the preview builds of Windows 10 interact with TeamViewer, but apparently this is a long standing issue.  i can confirm that only =sometimes= when i end my session, my computer will go to the lock screen.  of course as mentioned there is no obvious way to set "never lock on session end".  very disappointing.

Funny that this thread is 4 years old and the issue is still present. With 74 THOUSAND views of this thread this is the 10th most viewed thread on this forum, as far as I see? I think product manager should think about it.

Meanwhile, in the version of TeamViewer that I'm using there is no "ACTIONS" button at all. This seemed to be the only reasonable advice on the thread...
Don't have any clue what to do then. Will go and try private messages in the support team...

From the PC you are connect from, go to 'Extras' --> 'Options' --> 'Advanced' --> 'Show advanced options' --> scroll down to the bold section 'Advanced settings for connections to other computers' and there you will see an option with a dropdown: 'Lock Remote Computer' with options 1) Always, 2) Never, and 3) Automatic

Not sure if this is the exact answer to the original question (as I merely skimmed it, noticed it was QUITE old and jumped to the end) but it has worked for me thus far. If I set 'Always' .. all computers I connect to from the connecting PC will lock when I disconnect the session to the remote PC. (IE: home PC connects to work PC and, once finished, I disconnect and the work PC locks itself). Conversely, if I am at work and connect to home and I set to 'Never', when I disconnect from that home PC it does not lock.

Perhaps this will help some, like myself, who were simply looking for this setting.

You have to open TeamViewer on your client computer. If it is a Windows computer, you need to go to TeamViewer > Extras > Options > Advanced > Show Advanced Options > Advanced settings for connections to other computers > Lock remote computer > Never. I am unsure how to do this on any other operating system because I only use TeamViewer with Windows.

I am using TV Portable at my PC at work as the "client".  When I use it to check my home PC as the "host", when I sign off, my home PC "host" is then locked.  I don't want that.

I can't get "Never" to stick in my TV Portable.  There also doesn't seem to be any related setting in the TeamViewer.ini file for the TV Portable at my PC at work.

Very annoying.  Help!
