    Hi @LimeyBob ,

    Thank you for your post.

    If you can see everything, but cannot control, please try the following on the Mac you want to control. 

    1. On the Mac that you want to control:
      go to System Preferences > Security > Privacy > Accessibility. --> Un-check the TeamViewer and TeamViewer_Desktop entries --> Check the TeamViewer and TeamViewer_Desktop entries again

    2. If you still cannot control the Mac and it has "Start with system" turned on: 
      Turn "Start with system" off on the Mac you want to control (Remote Control > Unattended Access) --> Restart that Mac (just in case) --> Open TeamViewer again (still with "Start with system" off)

    Hope this will be helpful.

    All the best,
    Yuri
