TeamViewer does not stay open
For some reason on one of my PC's I have to leave the TeamViewer application open in order to access it remotely. If I close the application it will no longer show up as accessible on my other PCs. That doesn't happen with the other computers. If I close the TeamViewer window on any other PC I can still access it. I am sure there is some setting I am missing. The problem I will have if I leave this as is will be that as soon as a Windows update happens I will lose the connection until I can re-open TeamViewer in person. The PC in question is a Dell laptop running Windows 10
Thanks for your replies in advance!

Hello @Astrodoc
Thank you for your message and welcome to the TeamViewer Community! ?
We somehow found troubleshooting for this.
Could you please :
- Open TeamViewer
- Untick and tick the Start with Windows box back again
- Restart TeamViewer
It should now:
- minimize the program when you close it using the red cross
- start TeamViewer when you reboot the computer
I hope this could help. ?
If not, do not hesitate to ask your questions here. ?

Yes thanks! I figured that out after checking the settings on my other PC's. What threw me off is when I checked that box it asked me to set up a new password and for me to remember my ID. I did not recall going through that on the other PC's. No matter. It works normally now and when I close the application window I do get the message from windows telling me TeamViewer is still running.
Thanks again!
