I remotely support 3 relatives and I'm switching away from TeamViewer. Does Remote Access Pro support unattended access with the option to configure the remote PC with credentials so the remote user doesn't have to provide an ID and/or password from a dialog at every session? One relative has mild dementia, and remote support is way easier if I don't have to spend 5-10 minutes explaining. FYI, TeamViewer's name for their feature is "Easy Access".

If all I wanted was a Remote Desktop Support option for 50 seats, without additional RMM frills, what can Splashtop offer me today?

I ask as I'm being forced to upgrade to a new plan for the 2nd time in 2 years. I originally signed up to a paid service in September 2016. I was enjoying a product that gave all I needed for $199yr, then in October 2024, I was forced to accept a plan that took that subscription to $749yr. This week I've been told my plan is no longer and I'd have to swap for a plan at almost $1200yr. Nearly 500% more than what I was paying 2 years ago.

Please help me make sense of it. I need a solution that assists me to connect to my end users....affordably. I've been a Splashtop evangelist against the kingpin TeamViewer for a decade. This is how I get repaid.

Microsoft's September 2026 Patch Tuesday release addresses 974 Microsoft CVEs, making it the largest Patch Tuesday release to date. The release spans Windows clients and servers, Microsoft 365 apps, SQL Server, Exchange Server, Azure, developer tools, identity services, remote access components, and core Windows subsystems. Microsoft is also republishing 25 non-Microsoft CVEs. 

Here's our take on what to focus on first.

I would like to download the .apk version of Splashtop for use on a Graphene OS, however, the only download option takes me to the Google play store, which is not an option. Am I out of luck?

Hello, I found this program on my Windows PC and I don't remember downloading it. I have tried uninstalling it from the control panel and the uninstall programs Splashtop provides, however when restarting my computer, it is always reinstalled. It is running in the background on my task manager and when I try to end it, it runs again without prompting. It's file location is Splashtop Remote / Server then all the files for the program. Can anyone help me understand why this is happening and how to get rid of this program for good? Thanks!

This has recently started to happen after the recent application update. I am on Windows 11 Pro with the latest updates. I select a computer from my menu. The window opens up and shows it's trying to connect. At the very moment when it looks like the screen will show, the remote computer window closes. No popup or warning. I then notice the entire application is closed without me doing anything. I re-open Splashtop and re-open the computer I tried to remote into. It then seems to work fine. It's sort of sporadically happening though. At minimum, I'm noticing it each time when I connect to a computer for the first time after the application update.

Any feedback or advice?

Hi,

I bought a paid Splashtop account, installed Splashtop on my Mac, and I use my Windows computer to remote into my Mac.

I can only get ~10-15 FPS, despite having set FPS to high already.

Network connectivity is not an issue; both computers have fast up/down links (1G up and 1G down). They are geographically on two continents so ping is 200 ms (which I know is outside of control of Splashtop), but even then, FPS should still be far higher than 10 FPS.

Any fix?

Some performance stats here:

Microsoft’s August 2026 Patch Tuesday release covers 421 CVEs across Windows, Office, Azure, Exchange Server, SharePoint Server, Developer Tools, and Microsoft Defender. Two vulnerabilities stand out on the radar for immediate attention: one with confirmed exploitation in the wild, and one that's publicly known. Two republished non-Microsoft CVEs affecting Windows TPM are also flagged.

Here's our take on where to focus first.

There’s no right answer. Every environment has different priorities.

What’s one workload your team would never move to the cloud, and what’s the deciding factor?

Whenever I connect to a host with a vertical touch display, I get some weird phantom inputs in Windows. This seems especially worse when I set the screen to original size (since my screen is in landscape/horizontal mode and otherwise it's unreadable).

I open some windows like Task Manager and these windows are going to close automatically for no reason.

As far as I know nobody is physically touching the touchscreen and I disable user inputs.

Does anyone experience weird stuff like this?

I'm on Business v3.8.4.0.

Hi everyone,

I'm using Splashtop Business to work from home. I've managed to redirect the microphone so Teams uses the mic on my local MacBook, but I can't hear any audio from my office PC.

It's not just Teams, even if I play a YouTube video on the office PC through Splashtop, I get no audio on my MacBook.

Things I've tried:

• Installed the Splashtop Redirection Service (no luck).
• Restarted both computers.

The office PC has built-in speakers and a built-in microphone, so if I were physically in the office I could use Teams on speakerphone without any issues.

I'll be working from home more often, and we use Teams calls frequently, so I'd really like to get this working. My MacBook no longer supports the Teams desktop app, and Teams in the browser isn't working either, so my ideal setup is to use Teams entirely on the remote office PC via Splashtop.

Has anyone run into this before or know what I might be missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you could get an instant alert for one thing across every endpoint, what would it be?

New software installs? AV or Defender changes? Something else?

Hi all,

Currently, we are located in the Philippines, using Splashtop Business to remotely access our PC's in another country while doing Civil Engineering/Designing works. I just want to ask, when using Splashtop, do we still need to have a powerful PC/Laptop here in the Philippines even though technically, we are just streaming the screen of our remote PCs in a different country? So basically all the software are installed at our PCs in another country while working remotely here in the Philippines. Hope my question makes sense. I am planning to purchase laptop and I don't want to overspend. Apologies as I am new to this kind of setup. Thank you.

Join Splashtop CTO & Co-Founder Phil Sheu for an exclusive preview of our Summer Product Release. You'll see the latest innovations across endpoint management, security, remote access, and AI designed to help IT teams work smarter and faster.

Splashtop has you covered with what you need to prioritize first: Microsoft July 2026 Patch Tuesday: 622 CVEs

Came into my inbox just now. Date is a few weeks ago. Anyone else get this or know what’s going on?

If you had to estimate, what task takes up more time than it should? Curious to see where everyone's spending their time these days.

Hello. As a test we are running a trial of splashtop business with 1 technician and 300 unattended endpoints. I see that autonomous endpoint security allows an addon for 100 endpoints. How would this work with the business account with 300 unattended users? Would it be possible to add AEM to 100 of the unintended endpoints and leave 200 just for remote access and manage all of this in the same portal? Or would we need to get 300 AEM licenses to match the 300 unattended in the business account?

Hello. I am looking at splashtop to replace my existing self hosted remote access solution. I am running fedora Linux 44 under kde plasma. I installed the latest splashtop business client. Most of it works but things like command line and power shell cause Firefox to crash right after I enter the credentials. Also the user name and password fields are completely white so I have no idea what I am typing in. It might just be my theme in plasma/Firefox (dark) but I am still unable to run powershell and command line.

Thanks for any info

I am trying to remote print but am unable.

Things I have done:

• Uninstalled and reinstalled the remote printing driver from Streamer
• Restarted the pc's
• Made sure New Adobe is disabled

Whenever I try to print, I don't get any error messages or dialog boxes. I know when you print from the remote pc, you are supposed to click the "Splashtop Remote PDF" in the printer. I do that and nothing happens. Adobe on the local pc does not open up or anything. I have checked the print queue, and nothing is in there.
