Screen/PC locked when connecting

Post by sito »

Hi there,

I have a problem connecting on WIN11 computers. While the connection to WIN7 works fine- when I connect to WIN11 PCs, the target screen is locked and I have to enter the windows logon password. This happens in normal and view only mode...

Version is: 1.4.3.6

How can this be avoided?

Thx
Sito

You can auto lock a pc after x time, that's an OS option.
This doesn't look like a vnc settings.

For security reason you should lock your desktop when not in use.
Windows 11 differ from the unsecure win7, auto lock is on by default, but it's an option you can always change the OS behaviour

Sorry- i thought it was clear but the behaviour i described occurs while the pc is unlocked.

I found the source of the "problem". I tested it while being connected via rdp session. this does not work any more on WIN 11.

case closed :-)

This rdp behaviour exist for a very long time.
MS license doesn't allow multiple connections.
RDP connect -> close concolse
console connect -> close RDP
This how the OS works.

Normal all vnc version connect to the console running as service, and to the current desktop as application.
UltraVNC has the option RDP mode, in that case, running as service he ask what desktop you want to clone.

Just as info
