Teamviewer for Windows / Autostart with Windows then close to systray
« Last post by hendis on June 29, 2022, 05:33:25 PM »
Hi to everybody and thanks to all that can help!

The title says it all. I want to start TV automatically, then minimize it to the systray.

I'm running TV 15.31.5 (32-bit) on a Windows 10 machine. I set up TV to start with windows, and then close to the systray. However, it is not executing as expected (if at all) every time. I have searched the TV Forums, but only found instructions for Win 7. I am running Win 10.

Currently, in TV:
   - In Menu-> Extras-> Options-> General, under "Most popular options", then under "Important options for working with TeamViewer", "Start TeamViewer with Windows" IS checked.
   - In Menu-> Extras-> Options-> Advanced-> Show advanced options, under "Advanced options for working with TeamViewer", then under"General advanced settings", "Close to tray menu" IS checked.

What else do I need to do?

Catch all / Teamviewer Windows notification alert on right-click - How can I disable that?
« Last post by steven@stevenleeconsultin on November 09, 2021, 10:45:30 AM »
Hi Folks,

When I right-click on the Teamviewer icon in the system tray, Windows notification area, I get a Windows alert sound. This wasn't always the case. How can I get rid of that alert sound?

It makes the default Windows Asterisk event notification sound.

Thanks,
Steven

Quick Timing out and or Commercial use error / Quickly timed out of connections or being accused of commercial use ?
« Last post by Admin on April 24, 2021, 08:50:47 AM »
There have been reports across different media outlets that folks are being timed out of teamviewer connections within 10 seconds to 2 minutes or being accused of commercial use when they are in fact not using the software commercially.

There are several fixes that have worked:
For windows users having the timing out issue the trick that seems to have worked is to download the interviewer APP from the Microsoft Store .
try the Microsoft store
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/teamviewer-remote-control/9wzdncrfj0rh?activetab=pivot:overviewtab
Install then run the app and sign in, all your remote systems will be listed, the GUI is slightly different but it works( or has been working without issue so far).

If that doesn't work you can try to manually change you Teamviewer ID:

A last resolution that has worked for some and is more drastic and (honestly) questionable and a last resort , is to use a piece of software to reset your Team Viewer ID:
This is more of a HACK the requires some navigation through some sites to get the software. 
Use this method at your own risk, ONLY YOU are responsible for anything that results in attempting this:
I have used a hack to reset it and seems to work for a week or so.

Read the comments for two other links for how to download and use, it can take a bit.

Teamviewer for Windows / Re: Help --- "Trusted" Device Email not returned to me
« Last post by Coover on September 03, 2020, 12:33:25 PM »
Disregard previous ... all of a sudden eight (yes, 8) "Trust this Device" Emails showed up at once in Outlook. Why this happened, however, is a question I would like to ask either TeamViewer or Gmail?

Teamviewer for Windows / Help --- "Trusted" Device Email not returned to me
« Last post by Coover on September 03, 2020, 12:26:26 PM »
I recently purchased two "new to me" computers and deleted the two they replaced from my account and I am trying to assign them to my account. After loging in and giving them my password, Team Viewer says they will send an email for me to verify that I am who I am and the machine(s) is/are "trusted". I never receive the email. I check my Junk E-mail folder, I check my "Spam" folder, i check my "Trash' folder, and of coure, I check my "Inbox" ... nothing there from Team Viewer. Since I am using Outlook, an email client which is part of Office 2019, I also go to the gmail website and sign in there just in case, for whatever reason, the email was not transferred. I DO NOT FIND THE EMAIL. I try to go to TeamViewer support, and they ask me to login. i do and they tell me they will send me an email. I do not get that email. I can't contact anybody ... except for members of this forum.

What do I need to do now?

Teamviewer for Windows / any method for updating a deprecated Teamviewer version on a remote computer?
« Last post by zippydan on June 11, 2020, 12:14:07 AM »
Background:

1. I have TeamViewer installed on several Windows PCs (of family, friends, current and former coworkers) that I figured I might need remote access to some day.
2. Most of these installs have older versions of TeamViewer that are now deprecated.
3. The time has come that I now need to support several of these PCs.
4. I now learn that TeamViewer has completely disabled all functionality with these older versions of Teamviewer.
5. The remote users DO NOT have administrative access to their computers.
6. I DO have the administrative credentials to these computers.
7. I DO NOT want to give the remote users administrative access.
8. These PCs are in remote locations that I WILL NOT HAVE PHYSICAL ACCESS TO any time soon.
9. In the old days of Teamviewer, there used to be a method where you could update a remote install of Teamviewer by supplying the administrative credentials, and then letting Teamviewer essentially perform an unattended in-place upgrade.  For some inexplicable reason, Teamviewer seems to have disabled even this functionality.
10. I can get the remote user to download and run the latest Teamviewer under their limited user account, and I can successfully connect, but then any time an administrative task is required, I cannot see the Windows UAC window asking for administrative credentials.  This is expected behavior as Teamviewer is not running as a program with administrative access.
11. Even if I could somehow see the UAC prompt, how could I upgrade the old version of Teamviewer (in Program Files) while the new version of Teamviewer is running under the limited user's profile?  The Teamviewer install program seems to detect whether a Teamviewer instance is already running, and won't let you install while Teamviewer is running.  I suppose the answer to this is to temporarily setup another remote access program under the local user account, but then I still have the UAC issue.

Question:

Is there any method that anyone has discovered to update a deprecated Teamviewer version on a remote computer for which I have the admin credentials?  Can I start a full unattended update from the command prompt, perhaps, supplying the necessary administrative credentials ahead of time?

I help my 95 years old father. He never touch his computer. We have a script to make the computer auto answer when we call. But he always say, there is a square over your face.

How to avoid it...

Like you said, it is ok on my side, but not on the other side.

« Last post by aradii on February 17, 2020, 09:30:56 AM »
Hi guys, Sorry for my newbie question but I did not know anything about Teamviewer, until today, I had to give a guy at work the access to my PC to help me to set up something. I am kinda worried now. I deleted Teamviewer immediately after everything was done. I wonder if he can still access my PC? Help please, Thank you.

Teamviewer for Windows / Installation of v15 freezes before completion
« Last post by johnnieq on February 16, 2020, 10:40:06 AM »
I use the free version as a hobby to help friends with their PC issues. On a PC with a fresh installation of Windows 10, installtion of TeamViewer 15 installation freezes at the same step every time.

"Please wait while TeamViewer is being installed.
Rename: C:\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer\x64\TeamViewerVPN.sy_"

I can cleanup all traces of the failed install, try again, and fail again at the same step.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
