I use Chrome Remote Desktop a lot, with about 20 PCs. The only piece running on the host is the host service, installed from https://dl.google.com/dl/edgedl/chrome-remote-desktop/chromeremotedesktophost.msi
It works well, for a while. Eventually [after a week or 3] the host stops responding to a remote connect request, although it still shows as online in my list of devices. I can access those PCs another way [always have a plan B, and sometimes a plan C], and the service is still running. Restarting the service fixes the problem. This happens repeatedly on many or all of these PCs. On a few that I access a lot I run a scheduled task that restarts the service once a day: <<net stop “Chrome Remote Desktop Service” && net start “Chrome Remote Desktop Service”>>. This solves it.
There isn’t any info on this issue that I can find. Am I the only one to run into this? Other than this problem, Chrome Remote Desktop works well for my needs, and the price is right. I do run the host without running Chrome [actually Chromium in my case] – that’s not even needed to install the host service if you don’t mind a few extra stesp to register the host from the command prompt.
Any ideas and thoughts are appreciated. Thanks – George
