I use TeamViewer to access my other computers from the one I am currently sitting at.
Yesterday, after I applied all Windows/Microsoft Updates, TeamViewer on my older Toshiba Satellite A665 would no longer connect to my other computers nor would my other computers connect to it.
On the main TeamViewer window, I noticed that unlike the computers where things were OK, the Assign Device to Account (I’m not positive if I have the wording correct) line was not checked. When I tried to assign the computer, up popped the dialog to assign the computer to my account, I clicked OK as my account email was displayed as expected, but after a coupe of seconds, the dialog closed and nothing changed on the Assign Device line. This issue was still present after completely uninstalling TeamViewer, rebooting the computer and reinstalling TeamViewer.
I also noticed under Options>Security the Use Easy Access or something to that effect was greyed out on the A665, but not on my other computers.
One additional point is that on my Dell Inspiron desktop, it was not assigned to my account. When I did as I did on the A665, things worked as expected.
EDIT: Something else that I observed is that the A665 display did not go off after it was sitting idle that it did previously.
I am suspicious that something with the updates on the Dell and A665, both Win7 Home Premium, affected TeamViewer. The effect on the Dell was minor and fixed without issue. However, on the A665, the effect has been more pronounced and I may have to roll back the updates and see if the issue is corrected. I had no issue on my new Satellite S50 C running Win7 Pro.
Has anyone else had this issue with Team Viewer and resolved it?
If I roll back the Updates, would it be better to uninstall them one at a time? All at once using System Restore? Restore my system using its most recent backup?
