Client stops sending commands to server when closing all windows

Post by ggriscms »

Hello everyone, I have a weird issue I can't seem to solve. I have the latest release (UltraVNC 1.4.3.5) installed on two Windows 10 PCs in the same network. Everything works fine, except when, from the client, I close all the windows opened on the server (folders, programs, ecc). At that point, the client appears to get blocked and is unable to interact with the server. The connection is still open and I can see the server's mouse pointer moving, I just can't interact with anything. Everything then returns to normal if a new folder is opened once again on the server. Any ideas? Thank you.

winvnc started as normal user
Window on pc start with "run as admin"
VNC loose control when this window has focus, closing this window and the remote control is back on.

Solution
-Start winvnc also with run as admin or as service

Cuase:
This behaviour is part of the UAC security, you can also disabled this, but is better to start winvnc with runas admin" and keep UAC on.

Starting as a service worked, thank you very much.
