Team viewer 14: Mouse / Keyboard not working on remote computer
Hi all
Using the free version to try it out for later use at my company. I'm able to access my host or main PC remotely with no issues. However once I'm logged-in i have no control over anything including the mouse and keyboards. They do nothing. It appears that my mouse is see on the screen is the mouse from the remote PC and has no effect on the host PC
All setting are set to full control on both sides. I've even pulled the USB for my wireless mouse but to no avail.
Windows 10 on both sides. I do have go to my PC installed on the main or host computer and it works fine. Just cant do anything remotely also using TV14 (14.1.1925)

Hello @masksav,
Hello @dflorey,Thank you for your messages.
I think we have here two different cases, even though we have the same symptoms.
@masksav, First of all, I recommend you to make an update of your TeamViewer applications on both sides of the connection (your PC, and the remote PC).
Then, could you please check if, on your remote computer's TeamViewer options, Full access is granted? In order to check this, you only need to go Extras → Options → Advanced and Advanced settings for connections to this computer.@dflorey, could you please check, what OS version your remote Mac has? If it is running on Mojave, please follow the instructions on this article: How to control a Mac running macOS 10.14 Mojave
I hope this could help. If not, do not hesitate to ask your questions here.
Cheers

We have updated both computers. Mine is a Win10 and the other persons is a late model Mac. I am logging into their machine from mine to train them on wordpress usage. The mouse has worked just fine for past sessions right up until today. I don't know what you changed on the software but you need to fix it.

I had the same issue, what resolved mine, I was logged in with the same account on my local machine and on the remote machine. I logged out of my account on the remote machine, and mouse and keyboard functionality came back

So I am having the exact same issue on my Macs. I can access my elderly moms' computer back east and see her desktop but I have no mouse or keyboard access? Weird. Both sides have "full access" checked on and both are updated to the latest Team Viewer 14 as of 10.26.19
I am running Catalina on my MacBook Pro and I have her still on Mojave on her Mac Mini and this should totally work. Also, she had the Geek squad at her end today and they are also baffled as to why this is not working. All has worked great for years, it seems to be the new TeamViewer 14 update that is causing problems? I saw one person mentioned changing access log ins but that is not the issue here. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I do not have control connecting from a macbook air running 10.14.1 mojave and a mac pro tower running the same OS. No keyboard commands work however I can make windows appear such as system preferences when using the teamviewer management window but with no control over dragging them or closing them etc..
