Quick Assist is NOT the same thing as Remote Assistance[edit]

Quick Assist and Remote Assistance are separate products, both included in Windows 10. This article says they are the same thing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.110.230.238 (talk) 17:39, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I found this confusing too. The article said that quick assist existed on XP, 7, ... but it was because there is a mix of remote assistance and quick assist

No they don't[edit]

people do not use Remote Assistance to acess their files, as this would be impossible as people at both ends neeed to click on accept. People use Remote_desktop to get files from home etc.

Sorry, But I can't help you, No offence, but Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia, not a tech support forum, If you need help, then I recommend using Microsoft Answers if you have a [Microsoft Windows| Windows] Computer, or Apple support Forums, if you have a [Macintosh|Mac]. Sorry, but we can't help here! Georgeh109 (talk) 19:08, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Screenshot Update[edit]

Hi, FleetCommand. Can we update the screenshot? The version uploaded previously was largely the same as the previous version, except that it had been updated for the new OS. Can you explain why it violated Wikipedia guidelines when the old one didn't?

Thanks, Onecatowner. 18 July 2016 18:18 (UTC)

@Onecatowner: First, you need to answer this: What is wrong with this screenshot? Is there something misleading about it? FleetCommand (Speak your mind!) 08:19, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@FleetCommand: Nope, nothing's wrong or misleading. Just thought it may look better and more consistent with newer articles with the updated interface. Onecatowner (talk) 16:37, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia has value for both history and naturalness. The software that it represents must not look out of its time. I looked at your screenshot and compared it with mine. The only change is "Read our privacy statement" having become "Privacy Statement". So, I think we must not change it.

Example of good changes that you tried to make was changing the Windows Media Player icon. Unfortunately, your icon wasn't 64×64. Let me see what I can do there.

By the way, your {{Ping}} didn't work. That's because you put my whole sig. in it. You only need to put my username, e.g. {{Ping|FleetCommand}}. —FleetCommand (Speak your mind!) 06:36, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

LogMeIn?[edit]

What's the point of the comparison table including LogMeIn if not for being a blatant advertising scheme? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A03:1B20:8:F011:0:0:0:A01E (talk) 12:07, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a point, it would be to allow prospective users (e.g. IT administrators) to compare and contrast the software. There are plenty of websites that can do that though; and to be fair, it should not only include LogMeIn but also SolarWinds, Pulseway, Atera, NinjaRMM, etc. etc...

Domain-Joined Machines: Windows Group Policy UAC[edit]

If the controlled host is domain-joined the user may be prompted to allow "Remote Assistance Secure Desktop Disable" via a UAC prompt, and they will not have the rights to approve the action. The same would prove true for any user account without administrative privileges. RenaissongsMan 22:04, 3 March 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Renaissongsman (talk • contribs)
