    Hi all - With the help of some log files we have identified that a recent Windows 10 and 11 update is the cause of this issue.  When the GoToMyPC software tried to update recently some Host PCs failed to install the update successfully. Reinstalling the Host software will correct the issue. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working on a fix so that future updates will be successful.

Same problem here. Several users having issues connecting since the 3601 update. Reinstalling seems to fix the issue.

      I figured out today that deleting the contents of these two directories on the user's machine:

       

      C:\Users\~\AppData\Local\GoToMyPC\*
      C:\Users\~\AppData\Roaming\GoToMyPC\*
       
      -- followed by a restart of the GoToMyPC service on their PC fixes the issue also. A little easier than a full reinstall. 🙂
