Exiting TV locks up partners computer.
« on: February 18, 2015, 07:06:54 PM »
?I'm running under Mac OS X Mavericks. My partner is running under Windows 7.

Before upgrading to Version 10, my partner's status did not change when I disconnected a session. Today I upgraded both systems to Version 10, and first of all, the ability to end the session no longer appears in the control tab at the top of the screen. If I end the session by using the "X" in the chat screen area, or if I choose the Exit TeamViewer in the toolbar, my partner's system does a restart. This is not good.

This seems to be related to the "Lock on Disconnect" (or End of Session?) feature, which I have not heard of before today.  I am an "IT guru" for several friends, and I depend on unattended remote control to take care of their systems.  With the current state, once I exit TV I can't get back in to that site.  This is unacceptable.

TeamViewer, please fix (or explain) this problem ASAP.

I don't have an answer to your problem, but I have to note that the "Lock on Disconnect" setting is one of the really maddening attributes of TeamViewer. It's maddening mainly because it occasionally turns itself on for no apparent reason. I'm still running v9 on my Mac, but when "Lock on Disconnect" checks itself, the Win7 system I connect to always just logs you out on that system. You can still connect to it, but once you do you need to log back in. That does indeed, "Lock on Disconnect", but my problem is that it decides to do that all by itself. I'm still waiting for an explanation from TeamViewer why it does that.

I believe I've seen complaints about Win7 getting into a mode where logging off forces a restart, though.

See this from the other forum ...

I guess you set it to "Never".

I haven't tried it yet, but it may disable the locking entirely.
