    @Anwarjutt Wow, thanks - I didn't suspect that my scope of using TV could be admitted as commercial usage. Well, I'll write to their support and will explain the situation. Thanks for that tip!

    Thanks Kerstin. I should have physical access to the remote machine in a couple of days. Not an insider build for sure. It's a brand new Dell machine for Grandpa. My details are almost exactly like @Teressa. Uninstalled the factory shipped McAfee. My first attempt was using TV Host on that machine. Exactly as described by @Teressa "Initially, I could connect and control the remote endpoint. All of a sudden I was unable to click on anything in the remote computer and the remote screen stopped refreshing in my TV." Control lasted less than 10 seconds. I then had them install the full version. No control ever at that point. I can connect & see the screen (black screen though, no wallpaper showing) but that's it. Will update you when I gain physical access.

    Windows 11 Home 21H2 22000.376

    Well, it's working now. Not sure what fixed it though. Updated TeamViewer to latest 15.25.8 version. Didn't work for @Teressa so I doubt that's it. Cleaned out all the Dell crapware (10+ programs). Also found a second McAfee entry & deleted that as well. @Teressa, happen to be working with a new Dell?

    I am also working with a new Dell, Inspiron 5510. I removed the McAfee Antivirus but I did let the McAfee Webroot program stay. My version is Windows 11 Home, 21H2, OS Build 22000.376. Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.376.0. Not an Insider build.

    After the first issue occurred, I left it during the next day and tried again after work that night. It was miraculously working. I suspected that a Windows update might have fixed the problem. However, over the next few days as I continued to use TeamViewer to access the remote computer to finish setting it up, I encountered the issue several more times. Usually a reboot of the remote Windows 11 computer would fix it. Once I had to reboot both my Windows 10 computer and the remotely controlled new Windows 11 computer to fix the issue.

    While TeamViewer is more flaky on Windows 11 than it had been on Windows 10, it's still an invaluable tool for helping my mother with her computer issues when we're in different states. Thank you so much!

    @CarlZ If you can recall what other Dell nuisances you removed, I'd welcome the info. Did you remove their My Dell, Support Assist software? Thanks.

    I have read whereTeaviewer access if free to personal computers. I have two residences so i just connect remotely to my other computer from time-to-time. Every connection is time limited it terminates after about 3-5 minutes. Is the personal accounts time restricted?

    How do I contact support about getting my account reset as it is being incorrectly identifying my usage as commercial.


    This happened to me about 2 years ago and was reset back then by support but I cannot get support form the same process as I did back then.


    Thanks

  • @Esther They want you to pay for it. You can argue til you're blue in the face… they may or may not reverse their decision, but there's nothing anyone here can do. Signed, an ex-teamviewer user with the same issue...

    Same thing here.


    We are able to connect on PC's with W11. The icons that allows remote control are ON but we can't control mouse neither keyboard.


    Source Team Viewer PC OS version: W10 v. 21H1 ( compile 19043.1415)


    Source Team Viewer version: 15.25.8 (32 bits)

    Source Team Viewer License: Corporate (3 channels)


    Remote Team Viewer PC OS version: W11

    Remote Team Viewer version: Most Recents from December 21 until today.


    I hope I've helped you to find a solution for this.


    Ps.: We are literally installing **Third Party Product** to give support to our clients with W11. This is a very bad situation from the marketing's and sales' perspective. But as i am seeing here, I am not the only one and I know that you are working to fix this.


    Best Regards.

    Hello,

    I used to use TeamViewer last year or the year before for school and I could remain remotely connected indefinitely, now that I am using it again, it keeps disconnecting me because I need a License upgrade.

    Reason I use TeamViewer in school is I have a good pc at home so I just remote into that pc through a little dingy laptop that I use at school (so I don't lose a lot of money in case of theft or breaking the laptop).

    So I was wondering if there is a Student Liscence where it can let me use unattended access indefinitely for one pc.


    Thanks for any answers!

  • Hello,

    wondering if there is any way to stop the team view from timing out?

    Thanks

    Just trying out TeamViewer with Windows 11 that I just freshly installed on another machine.

    Things I noticed:

    1 - Taskbar Icons don't seem to be updating. I change the position to center, but icons stay on the left. This happens even if I close the connection and reopen.

    2 - the windows menu is shifted and not fully visible if I have taskbar buttons on the left3

    3 - I cant scroll inside settings windows. Or rather I can see the vertical bar on the right go up and down, but not the contents of the settings menu.

    Everything else works fine, it just seems to be around the taskbar, home menu and settings that things are not updating.

    Using latest version of TeamViewer. Connecting from a Win10 PC to a Win11 PC.

    I have been trying to get my free account reset for a couple of months now, I fill in the form with the details and it all seems to go through but I have no response. I get the message that it takes 5 days to process but nothings seems to happen after that time. How can I convince TV that I am not using as commercial ( Just my PC and several laptops ) ??

    I connect to my father's pc sometimes (1/2 times a week) so I'm not using it for any commercial use. Today I got an error saying the app thinks I'm using it for commercial purposes but I'm not.

    Is there a way to unblock my account? I don't want to pay to help family out with their pc or share my screen with them...

    What a joke. I'm getting the same commercial use error. It's really frustrating when you're at your work PC and try to connect to your work PC to let family members know your phone has no battery. I'm not signed into Telegram or WhatsApp Web on my work PC and usually remote to my home PC if I ever need to do so.

    Thanks TeamViewer for your planned sabotage into getting premium licenses from free users.

    Looking for an alternative, and I'm not buying a Man Untied kit till you stop sponsoring them.

    Whilst some valid criticism can be directed towards TeamViewer in the way they have handled things I think it is perfectly legitimate that they clamp down on people using their software in a work environment using their free tier. TeamViewer makes it very clear in their literature that the free tier is not available in work environments.

    I can't use TeamViewer anymore as it's unreliable in flagging me as a business user when I need it the most, like going on holiday and then barred from accessing my own machine. This has happened to me so many times now over the last 7 years that I would be a fool to continue using an unreliable app that can fail at any given moment (by design). It's basically ransomware.

  • the app is telling me to buy a subscription because i have been blocked for "very high activity level"

    all i use teamviewer for is accessing my server pc so i can run my private mc server and my home plex server

    none of that is commercial so i dont think i should have to buy the subscription

    is there a way to fix this


  • In the past, I was flagged incorrectly for commercial use. I use Teamviewer to help my elderly parents with remote computer issues, and filed a ticket to fix this - which I believe was corrected... but I still get kicked off every 2 min when helping my folks remotely

    How do I get back to uninterrupted connections?


    Thanks

    Thank's in advance,

    anyone know how to resolve this issue a while ago I was using this app when I was blocked for apparently using it for commercial purposes the only thing I use it for is to check messages and operate my phone I'm paralyzed from the neck down and that's the only way I can use my phone and the reason I'm on from morning to night is so that I don't have to constantly call someone to connect my phone every time I want to use it. it is a fantastic app and it would be really helpful if I could use this app again as I've been unable to get any other such app to work. Thank you

    I have the same issue. I have used private and free TeamViewer for years to help my (now 94 year old and partially sighted) mother access her PC and emails etc. Today it decided (perhaps because the system scanned an estimate she had been sent for a roof repair) that our use is commerical.

    It seems one can only get a ticket to resolve the issue by paying.

    This thread gives me little optimism about being able to sort it out.

    I moved my Mum to Team Viewer when **Third Party Product** went all commercial.
