Windows 10: quickassist

fpefpe · Jun 26, 2020

Hello -- the last few time I tried to use quickassist I kept getting an error ---

I was the "giver" of the assist

then the receiver typed in the code, I got the request view or full access

I defaulted to full access

the receiver type OK then on my side I got an error and the session never started

is there a way to debug this? thanks

:)

QuickAssist disappeared from Windows 10 Home Edition after recent Windows Updates

QuickAssist is no longer available in Windows Accessories, nor can it be located via Search of Drive C or any Windows directories. The shortcut on my desktop no longer works, previously pointing to

C:\Windows\WinSxS\wow64_microsoft-windows-quickassist_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.17763.1_none_f91b60b2fb4d1415

What is going on? I just used QuickAssist last week to help someone with their computer.
