Fast User Switching Fix

Post by GreenElfT »

Hello
When I'm connected to a Windows 10 user session, and I choose command "Switch user", it cuts the UltraVNC session, and have to reconnect.
I see the option "Fast User Switching Fix", is it related? But I found no explanation on it on uvnc.com site or forum. Could you add it?
Does it explain the 'bug' treated by this 'fix', and what options can we put in the command, and what option does what?
Thank you and best regards.

No bug:
VNC has a service part and a desktop part. The desktop part need to run in the user session.
When you switch the user, you also switch the session that's visible on the desktop
The service detect it, close vnc and restart it in the new session.
This cause a viewer reconnect.

The vnc viewer should auto reconnect, if option is on.

The fix was for a bad implementation of fast user switching in Vista..
We need to cleanup some old options
