Sometimes when we are troubleshooting computers, we use remote tools to help us remote into the users computer without being physically there to troubleshoot. The most commonly used remote tool is Teamviewer, but sometimes teamviewer is unable to run because of corrupting a blocked port or virus is blocking the program from running. We can always use other remote software, for example Chrome Remote Desktop.
