That's a good thing, I also try to take care of my plants and still they end up dying.

With the exception of my youngest daughter, we have quite good success in my family in communing with our chlorophyll hued friends.
I'm a seed sprouter - I've a window full of cactus grown from these tiny black seeds. Also some from fruits I had the pleasure of eating, such as Sabra and Dragon Fruit. Even succulents (very difficult - some seeds look like fine sand). Once they're past infancy, they're rather difficult to kill (over-watering is worse than neglect).
Vegetable garden, too: Five Sweet Millions tomatoes (too many) and seventeen hot peppers of unknown varieties. Actually, I can identify some, now: Serrano, pablano, jalapeno, Anaheim, Hungarian hot wax. The identification comes along with them becoming part of last night's dinner. Hoping for a habanaro or two, and more varieties as their mysteries unfold.
Your problem is that you need to spend the night with them sharing intimate secrets. I don't do that, but then, I don't have problems growing things . . .

I've killed a cactus. For lack of watering...

VNC? Remote desktop?
For what you describe... it should do the job

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Usually, the free version allow only an amount of use time over a period, if you use it too much, it lock.
You can try UltraVNC or Ammyy

Yes, this is the reason...
They decide you are on a business when you connect two ways between both computers...
In any case... if you stop connecting from one side to the other one probably you'll keep it free...
and if this doesn't work... see: UltraViewer - Remote control software, remote access software[^] Never used it though...

What does TeamViewer give you that you don't get with VNC or Windows Remote Desktop?

With VNC/Windows Remote Desktop, When you login from Remote, the person sitting in front of the remote machine, can still stay logged in & watch what you are doing from remote?

That shouldn't be a consideration when you're connecting from a machine in your own house to another machine in your own house.

He mentioned that he connects to his work computer. Unless his workplace has a firewall that refuses TeamViewer connections it will allow him to connect to a computer in a different network and geographical location.
Takes out the need for VPN's or SSH Tunnels or the like between networks.

Recently I was spammed with read in the Devolutions newsletter about Wayk Now - Instant Remote Support and Remote Desktop[^] their competitor to TeamViewer et al.
I haven't tried it yet, but I've been using their Remote Desktop Manager Free for some years now without their being too intrusive, so I will likely try Wayk Now if/when I'll need remote access to somewhere.

He he ! Thank you ! We only probably deserved 2 of the 4 we scored, but I think you also need a bit of luck to win the whole competition. Stayed awake late yesterday evening just to watch the celebration !

We are nearing the 100% efficiency, like in most games so far. Some would talk about undeserved events, some other about forced luck.
Overall, and given what that team achieved in the past two years, including final in 2016, it is deserved, and well, if our strategy was the correct one to win, other teams are free to play it as well.

Assuming it's a service, add it to wukiller.bat, something someone posted here a while ago, which I think came from somewhere else?
@echo off
:while1
sc stop wuauserv
sc config wuauserv start= disabled
timeout 60
goto :while1

No, it was handcrafted with love by yours truly, with some google help. But someone else may have come up with the exact same thing elsewhere that I missed.
(I read not to long ago that Microsoft is working on disabling our ability to disable updates in a future release. Can't find the article now. Don't know if this method will be affected.)

When I have a good solid month or two (or three) of nothing else to do, I'm going to work on disabling Microsoft and getting my code working on .NET Core under Debian.

Thanks, I'll try it out just to see what happens.
But, the MS article does say...
Quote: Wlanext.exe is an important part of Windows, it is a system process which hosts multiple Windows services.
Of course, this was the same MS person who said, "maybe it's a virus".
