Windows 10: Quick assist and admin right for clients

I am hoping someone can provide some help here.I have a few companies I provide IT for, with 5-15 employees each. I have been using Quick Assist to provide remote support but I am encountering a problem. All my users are Standard users on their machines by default, so for example, if they try to install a program, I would need to remote into their PC and install the program as an Admin. The problem is if I do this remotely via Quick Assist, the screen goes black when it is prompting for the Admin login and password, so I can't see or enter the details required. I know how to fix this thro

:)

 

Quick Assist admin mode

Is there a way to turn on admin mode when connecting to a remote user that does not have admin rights?

The person supplying the assistance should be able to turn on admin rights to correct/assist issues.

I've tried the GPO suggestions to no avail.

Method 2: Creating new user account

You can create a new user account and check if you are able to open Quick Assist.

Hi Henry,

It's possible that your computer's Internet Options is not set properly, that's why you're experiencing issues with Quick Assist. Kindly make sure that your computer is allowed to save encrypted pages by following these steps:

• Type internet options on the search bar.
• Click on Internet Options.
• Click on Advanced.
• Scroll down, and make sure that Do not save encrypted pages to disk is unchecked.
  
• Click OK.

Once done with the steps, try to use Quick Assist again, then check if the issue persists.

Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you need further assistance with your concern.
