Remote IT Support — Fast, Secure Help Without the Wait

If you can turn your Windows PC on and log in, I can fix most issues remotely — no need to wait for an onsite visit. Choose a one‑off session with Quick Assist, or set up Direct Desktop for ongoing support.

Secure by design: You always see what I'm doing, you can pause or end access at any time, and I only connect with your permission.

Before You Start

Option 1: Quick Assist — One‑Off Remote Help

Quick Assist is built into Windows. It lets me view or control your screen for a single session using a secure, time‑limited code.

  1. Open Quick Assist
    Press the Windows key and type “Quick Assist”. Click the app when it appears.
  2. Choose “Receive Assistance”
    Click the option that says “Receive assistance”.
  3. Enter the Security Code
    I'll give you a 6‑digit code. Type it in and click Submit.
  4. Allow Access
    Click “Allow” when prompted so I can view or control your screen.
  5. Stay Nearby
    Keep your phone handy and watch the screen. You can pause or end the session at any time.
Tip: If Quick Assist doesn't open, your PC may need a Windows update. I'll guide you by phone if needed.

Option 2: Direct Desktop — Ongoing Remote Access

Direct Desktop is ideal for regular support. Once installed, I can connect when you ask — no new code each time. You stay in control and can disable access whenever you like.

Distant Desktop — Remote Access Made Simple

Distant Desktop is a free remote support app for Windows. No installation, no registration — just download, run, and connect. Perfect for ongoing support with secure access and minimal setup.

  • Download the app using the button below. It works on Windows 10 and 11.
  • Open the downloaded file — no installation required. The app runs immediately.
  • Share your ID and password with me. You'll see both on the app's main screen.
  • I'll connect securely. You'll see everything I do, and you can end the session anytime.

Want unattended access? Distant Desktop can run as a service with a static ID and password. I'll help you set that up if needed.

Setup is quick and secure — no tech skills needed. You stay in control at all times, and can pause or end access whenever you like.
