Been using Teamviewer for a while, to access my home PC tower and my wife's PC from my laptop as I travel.
No probs.
In process of replacing home tower with new Win 11 PC. Installed Teamviewer on it. But only way I can connect from my laptop to new PC is if I'm there to read a password off the Teamviewer app.
Better, I followed instructions at https://community.teamviewer.com/English/kb/articles/108689-set-up-unattended-access to set up the new PC, turning OFF password, so none is displayed, but the app on my laptop still asks for "password displayed on partner's computer," which doesn't work, whether I leave it empty (no password displayed on new PC, as specified) or type in my account password.
Worse, I think the problem may be caused by a setting on my existing laptop, which works fine remotely accessing the original two PCs. Under Options>General>Account assignment, it won't give focus to the 'Assign to account' button, saying in bold "You can only assign this device to your account if you have administrative rights and Teamviewer is installed."
The laptop is on Win10Home, and I do have Admin rights. I can successfully assign the new machine (Win11Pro) to my account, but not my traveling laptop, which has never needed it before.
So what's the **bleep** problem? This makes Teamviewer useless for the new machine, so I'll have to keep the (really) old machine as my main until this is fixed.
