Hello

Can I ask what is the difference between Remote Desktop and Remote Assistance, please?

Many thanks.

Steve
 
Basically, Remote Desktop allows you to use a computer, as if you were physically in front of it. No other user can see what you are doing as you effectively lock out the machine.


Remote Assistance, lets you see a users desktop, however the user remains logged in, and can see what you are doing, and in turn you can see what they do. You share control of the computer.

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
