# Remote Help: We Fix Your Computer Over the Internet, Safely

Download Remote Help, type the one-time code we give you, and choose what we may do. You watch every step, approve anything risky, and end the session whenever you like.

- **Works on:** Windows 10 and 11

- **You control:** Every session

- **Encrypted:** End to end

- **The app:** Free

## How it works

1. **Download and open Remote Help:** Click Download for Windows above and open the file. It installs in seconds and adds a Remote Help shortcut.
2. **Get a one-time code:** In your client portal under Remote help, or from us on the phone. A code works once, for 15 minutes.
3. **Choose what we may do:** Run fixes, see your screen, copy files: you decide, and you pick how long the session lasts.
4. **Watch us fix it:** Every action shows in the Remote Help window with the reason. Click End session any time.

## Built to keep you safe

- Nothing happens until you start a session, and only on the computer where you type the code
- Commands only work when signed by our technician’s key, so a hacked website or network can’t send them
- Everything is encrypted end to end between your computer and our technician
- You see every action and why, live, and keep a log of it on your computer
- Anything that could delete data, install software or change security settings waits for your OK
- Administrator changes show Windows’ own permission box for you to click
- Saved passwords, browser data, password managers and crypto wallets are off limits
- Sessions end when you say so, at the time limit, or after 30 quiet minutes

## Questions

### Is Remote Help safe?

It was built to be. Nothing happens until you start a session with a one-time code. Commands are encrypted end to end and only work when they’re signed by our technician’s key. You see every action and why, risky changes wait for your OK, and passwords and other private files are off limits.

### Can you get into my computer later without me?

No. Every session needs a new code from you, a code works once, and sessions end by themselves. Remote Help doesn’t run in the background or start with Windows.

### Do I need to stay at the computer?

Stay nearby. You may be asked to allow a change, and anything that needs administrator rights shows Windows’ own permission box for you to click.

### What can you fix this way?

Most software problems: slow computers, pop-ups and malware, printers, email and Wi-Fi settings, updates that won’t install, program errors and more. Broken hardware still needs hands, which we can do in person across much of Wisconsin.

### Is AI involved?

Our technician uses AI tools to find and fix problems faster. They work under the same rules: every action is shown to you, risky steps wait for your OK, and private files are off limits.

### Does it work on a Mac?

The Windows version is ready. For a Mac, contact us and we’ll help another way while the Mac version is finished.

### What does it cost?

Remote Help itself is free. The fix is priced like any job, agreed before we start, and many common problems have fixed prices on our fast fixes page.
