Back in May, Microsoft quietly released an app, together with Windows 10 build 14316. With builds following that, the app couldn’t be launched from the app list, instead, you had to open Cortana and search for it there.

This changed in build 14383. The app can now be launched by anyone directly from the app list. The app is a TeamViewer competitor, that aims to help system admins in helping users remotely. It features a clean, simple design and ease of use, unlike its bigger sister,Remote Desktop.

This app could eliminate the need for third-party tools, by other software vendors, be less clunky, and easier to use. It is pretty simple and works as expected. You open the app, either request or provide assistance, and you’re good to go.

Some of the features include:

Right now, the app is pretty rough, and may not be ready for daily use, but because of its inclusion in the latest Insider build, it is expected that the app should be ready for use when theAnniversary Update rolls outto users, on August 2nd.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
